This morning we had breakfast on the boat. I went back to the boatyard to check on the outboard. News wasn\u2019t good. The carburetor needed the clean but the wiring was all corroded internally. This required a replacement part which would cost over $200 and need another day to arrive. Couldn\u2019t wait for this so I paid for work done and took the outboard back to the boat where I fixed it to the rail to lessen the drag from the dinghy.This day our goal was to reach Black Rock Yacht Club.<\/p>\n

The wind again wasn\u2019t terrific so we motor sailed – ie we put up the sails and had the engine on.<\/p>\n

We left at 10:13am, covered 13.4nm arriving less than 3 hours later.<\/p>\n

Black Rock Yacht Club was superb. It had a great pool, had a wonderful setting and a great view. We walked into town and ended up in a place called Captain\u2019s Cove. As it was during the day, it was largely empty. It was a combination between marina, pleasure pier, hangout. It seemed out of place amid industrial Bridgeport. Still, Bob had a hot dog and Helen and I had a beer before we walked back.<\/p>\n

In the late afternoon we had a swim to cool off, had a shower then stayed for outside dinner.<\/p>\n

I also had a package of promotion forms delivered from work which I picked up at the club. I need to provide feedback on them by Monday evening and won\u2019t have time on Monday at work. Reading forms while others helmed seemed the best way to accomplish this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
