We had a great weekend in the Westerly Yacht club. Everyone here has been very friendly and accommodating. The weather was just gorgeous. Sue and John and their kids came down on Friday night and we grilled out and then drove into Watch Hill to walk around.  On Saturday they had sailing school so I rigged up the dinghy and went sailing. Not much wind but it was the first time sailing the dinghy in salt water. In the afternoon we raised the mast and launched John's Highlander 20 sailboat. And that night we went to a concert in the park at Westerly. The Boston pops orchestra along with the Westerly Chorus gave a great show. There must have been 10,000 people in the park. There was canon fire, church bells and fireworks all under a beautiful full moon. Alas no T Swift.
    Sunday we drove up to Tolland to meet with my parents and our kids for  Father's Day. We did laundry and recharged all the electronics. We had a great grilled tuna lunch. Emily drove us back and we stopped and went grocery shopping.
    It appears the refrigeration unit will require us to run the motor at least every 3 days. On the third day the battery indicator showed no lights so we ran the motor for about a 1/2 hour on Sunday morning and hopefully that will be enough.

In with the big boys
