Autumn Blast Continues - Connecticut Style!

Pumpkins, gourds in all colors. A great visit, catching up with greta friends.

Suzie and Crystelle cozying up.

A beautiful cool, crisp, New England day. Plenty of pumpkins.

We saw the best foliage and colors in Connecticut. Here's a cider farm that was sitting very pretty.

First stop is with one of my favorite ladies - Anne Ranhoff at her farm in Pomfret, CT. Jenée and I spent the night in Pomfret with Suzanne Ranhoff and daughter Crystelle. We had a wonderful dinner out and visit with Anne and Bunny (Elaine Ranhoff).

Contact in Boston Harbor!

During our trip out from Boston to Provincetown a few weeks ago, we found a rock ledge in the middle of Boston Harbor. Turns out we ventured a bit outside the channel markers during a low tide - oopsie! Well Jungle needed a good bottom cleaning anyways and had the diver take a video of the damage to the keel. Good news for us - only superficial scrapes in the fiberglass wrapping over the keel. We'll get her repaired after we sail south to Florida in November, December. You can see the video from the link below and see the keel damage - white fiberglass showing through the blue bottom paint on the keel. The video starts from the stern of Jungle and the keel damage is visible at approx. 1:17 into the video - a professional scrape!

Foliage Hunting in North Conway, NH

A perfect picture within a picture. Lucky me.

Panoramic view

Nice color around this NH lake.

Nice river view next to the covered bridge.

The fall weather was perfect so we decided to take a land yacht up to North Country - New Hampshire for a little foliage viewing. We weren't disappointed as we found a nice covered bridge among the NH back roads outside of Conway, NH. The colors were not quite a peak level but still bright. This was Jenee's first foliage trip in the area.
