We cruised on our occasionally annual trip
to Bristol RI for the July 4th parade and cook out with the Coasters
Harbor Navy Yacht Club (CHNYC) at the home of Cathy and Gary Holmstrom. Their beautiful home is on the parade route
on Hope st. It is an old family home
called Four Eagles.
The cruise over was with perfect weather
and seas. We had a west wind and flat
seas. After grabbing a mooring ball at
Bristol Yacht Club, $40 per night, we settled in for lunch on the boat. http://www.bristolyc.com/
We went ashore with the BYC launch and had
dinner with the CHNYC gang at http://www.leosristoranteri.com/ on Hope st. It was nothing spectacular but the company
was great. We had 22 club members for
dinner.
After dinner we went back to the boat for
the fireworks. They are shot off over
the harbor and right over our boat.
It is the
oldest July 4th celebration in the country. The Holmstrom’s host a breakfast before the
parade and a cook out after the parade.
They are very gracious hosts.
After the cook out we walked back to the
Bristol Yacht Club. It is a comfortable
walk of about 45 minutes. We had
afternoon cocktails on the back deck of the club and then retired to Anegada da
Vida for the evening. The winds picked
up from the south and the mooring field was a little rolly but still
comfortable for sleeping.
The
next day we slept in and cruised home late in the morning. We cruised slowly home because the weather
and seas were so nice.
