After Lunch we decided ... it was time to take a sail!
in a Real Sail boat -
PS - New England is tough on super curly hair - it either puffs ( think Diana Ross) or it goes flat and tangly. so Pony tails became the necessity...
But look - the Sails are going up!!
and we didn't get in the way - or get the boom !!
The boats in the Harbor are so pretty to me - the captain said they take the majority of them out by November 15th so they don't freeze over the winter.
When we told him we hadn't really seen lighthouses - he got us a little closer!!!
This is the Bouvier compound - where Jackie O summered!!! the thing on the left was a windmill and it powered their water. When she Married JFK they converted it to a guest house and that is where they stayed when visiting. - but that big house - Holee Buckets.... their Summer Cottage... that still floors me!
This is Ft Adams - it was established in 1799 and named after President John Adams - all those window looking things are were cannons stuck out. It was rebuilt in 1824 and used in 5 wars - ( including the Civil War and WW1 and WW11)
it was active until 1950 and now it is a state park ( hence the guy walking his dog)
Sailboat training Class??
Just another Cool Boat. Not something I see everyday in Land Locked Colorado ;-)
The sail was amazing - and the Captain was so cool - telling us all sorts of stories!!
We ended the day at The Red Parrot - isn't that a cool name for a restaurant?
and look
Lobster Nachos!!
PS - we will skip our Finished ( or Not) Friday for this week... just a heads up ... but the week after - you should be ready to brag again!!!!

Wow what a nice adventure. I wanted to say Have a great Thanksgiving. I see you are. Yeah the Lobster Nachos sorry but, bet they taste better the they looked.
Oooo I love your photos! Wow on the Bouvier compound. I can't imagine. Your sailing looks like so much fun. Was it cold? We were on a sailboat one time, in the summer in Galveston Bay, and although I'm not a water person, it was such fun. Lobster nachos oh my!
