Post #2 Newport

Wednesday and Thursday,  September 9 & 10

We headed off early on Wednesday, bound for Newport, RI, our second state in as many days. Home to the Vanderbilts, Astors and other assorted celebrities, we love it there because it’s home to Cornell friends Jeff and Mary and grad school friend Win and his extended family. Plus the beautiful beaches, fabulous restaurants, sailing buddies Bill and Sabra, museums and shops, and so many boats, boats and BOATS!  Newport is truly where the big ones hang out to play:


It was pretty rainy and cool weather so no trips to the beach this time but we enjoyed two delicious dinners with Jeff and Mary. And, of course, a hand or two of cards.  There was even talk of them joining us in Key West in February! !  After we returned to Onward, Jeff texted us that David had left his rain pants at their house.  A critical item of sailing gear, we were overjoyed to hear a knock on the hull at 7:45 a.m. the next morning.  It was Mary and Jeff making a special delivery—that’s what I call true friends!
