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.
