Aug 24-30, 2009 ::: Stonington to New York City

Another Google Earth shot. After Newport we traveled to Stonington, CT; Essex, CT; Stratford, CT; Oyster Bay, Long Island, NY; Port Washington, Long Island, NY; and now SONATA is near New York City at the World's Fair Marina, Flushing, NY.




There are many many boats located in Stonington. We met with friends of John's here and had dinner aboard.



In Essex we docked at another Brewer Marina. Dinner was at "the Griz". The Griswold Inn has been in business since 1776. We found the place extremely loud . . . a new band (could not even talk during dinner . . . even after complaining). Over rated!



Stratford is the home of Sikorsky Helicopter Company . . . first flown by Igor Sikorsky in 1939.




On the way to Oyster Bay on Long Island . . . the New York City Skyline came into view. Oyster Bay and the oyster boats were ever present upon the bay.


Port Washington . . . it rained and rained . . . so we went to a movie . . .


Julie and Julia with Meryl Streep . . .a terrific movie.


Somewhere in the fog, in those clouds of mist . . . is a US Air plane with Bonnie aboard . . . on her way to Virginia Beach. She has checked in and did arrive. She will return on a sunny day.
