sailing sundays

As much as I enjoy

events and dinners

in the Hamptons,

my favorite thing to do is 

spend time with my family.

We enjoyed a memorable day

yesterday.

It was bright and sunny 

and

we caught the ferry to 

Shelter Island,

followed by the ferry to

Greenport.

We visited Peggy & Paul

and their chickens,

admired their garden, 

and were in awe
of the celestial notes

when Peggy played the harp for us.

Next,

we drove to the marina

loaded the boat

and set sail.

It was the perfect day

to be on the water

and

we were in very capable hands.

They own a racing boat

and we loved the way it

sluiced 

through the water.

Paul is a kid at heart,

so he made the day

an adventure,

zen lyons

tilting the boat

precariously

and thrilling us all.

Eventually,

we dropped anchor,

and swam.

L & C have been amazed 

by my willingness

 to jump in 

and swim this summer.

The water is so refreshing

and I have realized that I

spent too much time

in the past worrying about

how I would look

After

swimming.

C took the helm

on the way home

deliberately spinning us 

around and around.

As the sun set on our ferry ride home,

we reflected on

the blessing of

another day

spent with family

and friends.

Thanks again Peggy & Paul!

You guys are the best.
