Homeward
Despite sunny skies and warm temperatures this morning, the weather forecast calls for deteriorating conditions. We considered heading from Port Jefferson to Oyster Bay for our last, but decided to head home to Stamford, give dear Prana a good bath (and ourselves for that matter), and do a couple of chores. The trip was a motorsail in very light north, then south winds. We arrived in Stamford in the early afternoon, fixed the shackle on the genoa tack, adjusted the genoa halyard tension, and cleaned up the mess we made after 10 days on the water. We hopped on a late afternoon train back to New York and settled in for a relaxing evening. Chis has planned to take tomorrow off (Monday), and he wants to go for a run, see Angels and Demons, and run a few errands. Then home for his last night before returning to the salt mines. I can see the tension in his face already. He lost it for a few days out there on the water. In fact, I think he was furthest away from work (figuratively and literally) on our beautiful sail from Mystic to Block Island. Another magical adventure. And we are already planning the next one!
