Boats: small, medium & large

It appears we seek out boats.

Model boats in Central Park (this time we rented two and raced them):


Coast Daylight (with bunting) in Bristol harbour:


John, helming Coast Daylight.


Harry, a-snooze on Coast Daylight (note the Outward Hound lifejacket):


At the end of our CD adventure (post-swim):


At the Newport boat show. Overkill, anyone?


Our view from the dock of the Uncle Sam's boat tour boat that we took the day after this picture was taken.


The enormous tanker that came down the St Lawrence Seaway, past the wedding lunch:

Sunset, 4 locations.

Sunset 1: Stowmarket station, evening of departure.


Sunset 2: Over the St Laurence River, near Cherry Island, in the Thousand Islands, NY. (Note: while the sunsets and the wedding were beautiful, a region whose most famous export is salad dressing made from ketchup and mayonnaise may have some disappointing food experiences).


Sunset 3: from the Lobster Pot restaurant in Bristol, RI, over Narragansett Bay.


Sunset 4: Manhattan island, as seen from a car on the Whitestone Bridge, en route to Kennedy Airport for the red-eye to the UK.

Aaaaand we're back

Whirlwind US trip (90% Rhode Island, 8% upstate NY, 2% NYC metro).

This is Harry the Dog. No, he doesn't drink gin, he just likes to chew on plastic bottles.

Breakfast of champions

 Sourdough bread (or english muffins), prosciutto, scrambled eggs, sauteed tomatoes and mushrooms.

YUM.
