Road/trail 40:32 2.61 mi (15:32 / mi) +75m 14:16 / mi
Nottingcook loop, muggy & buggy. More target shooting. Spotted a fawn this morning - was within 50' when M came onto the scene.

Track 38:15 [3] 3.0 mi (12:45 / mi)
BHS around 5p. Sun seemed hot but decent NW breeze for half the track. Fell into walk 100, run 200 which got a bit harder as it progressed. Reasonable workout, the "run" part was a 3.5 plus effort. I'll be damned if the accelerations don't mimic v tach.

Nottingcook look-see and see about returning to some sort of groove.
Cool enough but buggy. Bog is still intact with plenty of water lilies for a finishing touch.

Kimball Pond at end of day. Very still, got a bit hot, buggy & muggy in the last stretch. A dip was the perfect ntidote. Very quiet, no one there til I was leaving. Overcast. Summer eve.

Home sweet home, no place like it. From the SOL, up the East River with a favorable current, across Flushing Bay, by LaGuardia and Execution Rock, then New Rochelle, Larchmont, Mamaroneck, and finally Rye, a transient home. American Yacht Club and Stuyvesant Ave. are of another world and from the years I began to know it, 1955-'61. Milton Pt. is now very much over-gentrified. Keeping up with the Joneses involves multimillion dollar estates on the Sound or harbor with state of the art landscaping. It was so much simpler in 1960!
Did a one way rental from Rye to Concord, Stopped at the Apple store in Manchester to see about my laptop but have to go back shortly. Drove a hybrid for the first time. The lack of audible indication that the engine had started was most peculiar.

Blither...
Last offshore page for the two of us for numerous reasons. One, not far from top of the list, is fact that effective living space (on our boat) is around 120 sq feet, i.e., say 8' by 15' which has become tough to tolerate for any length of time with some mindsets, mine now included. We were 6d 20h going and 5d4 hr returning. In some respects, it is a form of suspended animation esp when the weather is a trial as it was to and through the Gulf Stream returning from Bermuda - a lot of wind and wave, confining and even anxiety-producing at times. My anxieties were things like major rigging failure, rudder or steering cable issues, hard-to-identify leak, falling overboard (should be entirely preventable), significant medical issue (namely something broken or dislocated), or fire. Any one of those could have been a "party spoiler" and the energy for dealing with any has certainly dissipated. Being enveloped by land in NY harbor was most welcoming. We celebrated it all by watching 4th of July fireworks anchored between the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. The Manhattan shoreline was incredible (a pix or two on the way). My computer decided it was time for a major failure so current solutions dropped down to catch as catch can.
