The "Ruggedly Handsome" Goblin ... Sat 22nd September 2012
We spent the morning getting tidied up on the boat and then went in to the dock to pump out the heads. The docking is going much better these days, however, the pump out wasn't as well contained as it might have been. The less said the better, but I definitely felt that I needed a shower afterwards. Having cleaned up we took a quick trip to "Dave's" to buy provisions for the afternoon. Just to note that I think "Dave's" in East Greenwich is one of the best, if not the best supermarket that I have been to. Around 2pm some of our work / climbing buddies came over for the afternoon. Bridget arrived first, followed by Stew and his son Evan. We took Cotinga out into the Bay for a sail in fabulous conditions - clear and sunny skies and 10-15 mph winds from the south. We had a blast, although it was just about as busy as I've ever seen it out in Narragansett Bay, which is probably not suprising for such lovely day at the end of the season. Once back on the mooring we drank some fine English dark ale and barbecued sausages, burgers and pineapple. At this point I should say that I started to worry a little about Bridget … she at first called the goblin on the "Hobgoblin" beer bottle label "cute" and then expanded a little to describe him as "ruggedly handsome" ! If she'd already had a few beers I might have understood where she was coming from … but this was half way through the first beer! Agh well …. a fine afternoon was had by all.
"Ruggedly Handsome" ...?!!

It got chilly outside - so we went indoors to eat
