Last Wed sailing race of the season

It was a chilly drizzly night for the last BYC race.  Blue Devil wasn’t racing, so we jumped on another friends boat.  We had fun & got 3rd 

 

Hurricane Ian

 

My moms neighborhood fared ok during the storm, fortunately.   Some trees & lots of branches in her Cul de sac.  Some other streets in her neighborhood had more trees down & lost power.  She was lucky enough to keep her electricity.  Chris’ mom was more north & fared even better.  Thank goodness for all 

Dinner with my co workers

 Fun evening with my old co workers!  Love these ladies - best thing about working :)   Too bad I'm retired from that company

Bolts trim

time for a trim!  Our groomer is in the process of moving, so Chris took care of Bolts grooming

For a treat - we took him for a walk on the beach

 

work day

 one of my last days back in the office - until next spring :)

Around the island race 2022

we had a beautiful day for the 2022 Around the island (Conanicut) race

fewer boats than years past (only 78, where there are normally close to 100)

but there was still plenty of racing to do

as usual, we ended up in the middle

so not the best finish, but fine for us.  It was just too beautiful of a day to stay inside

 

Quick trip to Chicago

Some family time - we had breakfast, and looked at a 356 Porsche

had a celebration party

and ate some more - a lot more!

 

walk around town

beautiful evening for a walk

these swans can be everywhere at times!
