This weekend brought beautiful weather as well as a trip up to Stonington, CT.
A few weeks back, I invited a few friends to join me in another sailing excursion. I figured, while getting more time under my belt practicing Tacking and Jibing, why not have my girls join me. We hit the road relatively early (I ran 20min late). Unfortunately, once up in CT, we hit traffic on route 95. Not to worry, we stayed entertained with good conversation and fun music.
Here’s a peek in to our day.
Pier1 Picnic Basket / L.L. Bean Monogrammed Large Tote.Short launch to the boat.
Always have a little something for your guest. Cheese, crackers, fruit, champagne and customized koozies.
Stuart (captain) and I can’t believe two sailboats are cutting each others at the nose.
Now back on land, the pre-dinner shenanigans start.
What to do when you have a 90 minute wait at Ford’s Lobster for dinner….
Open more presecco and champagne.
Spaghetti Squash with Caramelized Scallops
Goodbye whaler, until next time. Heading back to NYC now.
This looks like a lot of fun! Nice post!

It was so much fun! I love sailing! Any time I can up to CT & charter a boat… I do. Almost close to becoming ASA certified. Yippee!
Thanks for visiting
It looks like you had such a fun weekend! The picnic basket and personalized koozies is such a sweet and thoughtful touch. Now I’m really itching to get out on the water, I haven’t been sailing once this summer.
prosecco in the park
We did. Koozies, I love personalizing them for my summer share as well as our ski house share. As for getting out on the water, it’s a must. Make every effort to scheduling some time to get out there before the summer is over. I plan to get out 2 more times in September & then I’m done for the season.
Looks like such a beautiful weekend — filled with some delicious food! That’s always the best kind of weekend. Love your blog! Xo, Alison

lol. The more the merrier. The one requirement, one snack / one bottle of presecco or champagne. Oh, and a fun attitude.
Done, done (I got two haha) and done:)
I like your style. 🙂

lol. That makes two of us. I know monogramming is southern but I love it. I’m the furtherest thing from southern but I did grow up on Long Island so maybe that has something to do with it. 🙂

Not relaxing at all, unless you’re my guest. Sailing (being skipper) is a lot of work. But I love it.
Lovely! I would love to learn how to sail and this post has furthered my inspiration. Great pics!

Well, don’t let anything stop you. You’re in Boston, there are multiple sailing schools that are excellent. I know 2 sailmasters up there if you’re sriously interested in taking lessons. If not, just charter a boat with some friends & enjoy the day. Not sure about up by you but down here in NYC and/or CT area stop chartering around the end of October. Thanks for visiting.
This looks like such a fun day!!

A ton of fun. Must enjoy it before it gets too cold out there & it’s uncomfortable to be out there.
What a fabulous weekend you must have had! I haven’t been sailing – yet. I really want to change that very soon 🙂

Thank you. It’s actually my moms dress. It was ankle length. Who wants an ankle length polo dress. Ha.
That looks like such a fun trip! I would love to learn how to sail. I hope to get out to stonington before the end of the summer, I’ve heard it’s such a cute town.
Chic on the Cheap
You most certainly should try. Mainly before it gets to cold on the water. Stonington, Noank & Mystic are all quaint little towns.
