Happy Birthday, Tom! We had to stay at Saybrook as it was very windy and thunderstorms and strong winds were forecast. We had French toast for breakfast and decided to go into town. We took the laundry and had quite a long walk to the laundromat. It was in a shopping centre so we had a look around the stores and bought some spare light bulbs and connectors. We went into Lums after we did the laundry and had a beer and hot dog to give us energy to walk back to the boat. We bought some bread and paper towels at the A&P. We really know our way around this town now. We took the cats some grass to chew on. We did some odd jobs on the boat- Andy repaired the stern light. We had a look for some charts in a nearby marine store but they didn't carry charts. The man that has the other trimaran in the marina stopped by and came on board to have a look at ours. His was built in England in 1966, its a Piver 30' but a different model than ours- his has the rear cockpit (no rear cabin). He was very interested in our and how we built it. We had spaghetti for supper. Listened to Mystery theatre on the radio and read for a while before going to sleep.
