Fathers Day Boat Trip 07/10/11


Our friend Roger invited us and Colin out on his 42' Duffy for a Father's Day Cruise out to the Isles of Shoals Sunday afternoon, June 19th.

And the weather was just perfect with a gentle breeze to keep the air moving. The ocean was calm under an almost cloudless sky. We left the dock at around 12:30pm and had lunch out at the Isles of Shoals. The trip back in, even against the tide, was less than an hour and a half. So, just a perfect day.

Sue and I got home around 6:30pm, had some wine and played some backgammon out on the deck after throwing a pizza into the oven. We finished off the evening with the very funny and cute movie, Danny Deckchair.

There was a nice breeze blowing most of the day that kept the heat down.
