Out To Lunch

I went down to Stonington today and meet a friend for lunch at Skippers Dock. Lunch was delicious; I had Pan Sautéed Filets of Sole Francais and my friend had the Dockburger BLT with Bleu Cheese Melt. We sat out on the deck out of the wind and it was quite comfortable despite being only in the upper sixties. There was this big yacht that was tied up to the restaurant dock and the restaurant staff was bring platters of food out to the boat. Then a little while latter all the guests arrived. This is a picture of it leaving…
After we ate, we drove down to the point and visited the Stonington Lighthouse Museum. The lighthouse in its current location was built in 1840.
Here is a picture looking out from the lighthouse tower's lantern room.
As we were leaving the lighthouse, this fishing boat was coming out of Stonington harbor.
On the way down to Stonington, I stopped at a scenic rest area on I-95 overlooking old Mystic harbor. The ship is the Charles W. Morgan that is tied up at Mystic Seaport.
