First on the list, going sailing in the "Sailing Capital of the World" on this boat - the Adirondack II. This sail boat is a classic Pilot Schooner that worked the coast of New England throughout the 19th century.
We had a great spot in the sailboat - right by the captain...who was a VERY interesting man. He has been a private captain on yachts, sails private boats for clients in the Caribbean in the winter and sails in Newport during the summer and fall as Rhode Island is his home.
We sailed past islands, a 19th Century military fort, beautiful old lighthouse, huge mansions and beautiful coastline. After sailing, it was time for lunch.
Aunt Wende took us to the Clark Cooke House, which was built in the 18th- century. We ate in this room - with the walls opened wide to the wharf outside - yep - that's water and the dock. Another "first" to check-off our list - our first lobster rolls for lunch. Grandma Donna - we ate one for you!
That lobster roll brought back a lot of memories!
ReplyDeleteTo bad we can't afford to buy lobster in Indiana...but then it would be hard to buy it
"off the boat" here. Have a great time in Boston.
Awwww that roll does bring back memories and cravings.... Hahaha
ReplyDeleteIt looks so good! I would love to try a lobster roll someday.
ReplyDeleteThe schooner looks like so much fun too! Oh, to be on the ocean again!
