We just got back from a dinner of freshly caught clams
on Cenou. Claude has gone
out every morning with his claming license to harvest
clams from the nearby beach. Yum.
We finally went on our bicycle ride today after waiting
for a pump out (of the holding tank for our two heads,
ie toilets) yesterday until about 2:30pm. Lesson
learned: pump out on Friday before the weekend rush.
Joe and the kids wound up hitting the beach within sight
of our anchorage yesterday instead of riding bikes in
the afternoon. We had tacos back on Zia with the
Dussaud's, and the girls had their first sleep over with
Celine and Anouk last night. They all did very
well, watching "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" (the
old one) on DVD before hitting the sack at 10pm.

Today, we rented these bikes that have 21 different
speeds on the main bike, and a little bike attached to
the back with peddles for a kid. It worked out
great for us with 4 adults and 4 kids. We rode to
the Mohegan Bluffs that overlook the Atlantic Ocean.
We walked along the rocky beach to the "people's
sculpture" that is constructed of debris that is found
along the beach and built into a "house" of quite
unusual proportions. Buoys that mark crab pots or
lobster pots, and fishing line and wooden helm stations
all made up the foundation of this structure. The
kids had a great time climbing through the house and on
the rocks and exploring the cliffs, while the adults sat
and talked.

We are talking about heading to Sag Harbor tomorrow,
weather permitting. Our friends Eben and Wendy
Block have rented a house in Sag Harbor for the whole
week and we would love to hook up with them, but we have
to see what the weather is going to do. We were
sitting having clams on Cenou, watching the fog roll in.
We need to be in Falmouth/Woods Hole on Saturday, the
6th, the meet the Dunoyer family who are coming to join
us for a week's vacation. We are learning a lot
about planning on a boat. It isn't as easy as it
would seem. We'll wake up tomorrow and see what
the fog is doing. Until then, I can't say what is
in store for us. It is kind of humbling to be at
the whim of the weather.
Good night,
Christy, Joe, Cassie, and Juliana
