A quiet day on Summer Star! We generally had a lazy day.
We woke to a very foggy day. We could barely see the boat next to us. Then to add insult to injury it rained. We did a little boat cleaning and pumped out the dinghy. The rain stopped and the fog lifted around 11:30 so we went into town for lunch. We wondered around a bit and ended up at The Lobster Bar where we had a nice lunch and watch some of the US Open tennis.
Then, we went Onne van der Wal’s gallery. We always go there when we are in Newport. He takes beautiful sailing and marine pictures. We often think about adding one to our collection but never have. Here are some of his photographs.
There was a lovely young woman working there who was in college studying documentary photography. We had a long conversation about her studies, hers and our travel, and a mutual picture show and tell. It was nice to briefly get to know her.
We were going to go to Rough Point, Doris Duke’s house but we were both feeling kind of lazy so we returned to the boat. It was raining as we dinghied back but by 5:00 the clouds had moved on and there was plenty of blue sky. Hopeful this bodes well for tomorrow, our last full day on the boat.
Rick cooked the rack of lamb for dinner.
