Milford

8/5/07 – My dad and I slept in today and then walked into town again. We ate breakfast at a local bakery and bought some bread and cheese to eat on the boat for lunch. We cast off at around noon and went to a big marina on the way out of the harbor to get some fuel. It was the most crowded harbor I have ever seen with boats coming and going so much that it was imperative that I paid very close attention to what I was doing. We got out of the harbor and continued up Long Island Sound. We decided to stop at Milford, a neat little town with a very crowded harbor where we tied up to a dock. We ate dinner at the Milford Yacht Club and then walked around the marina to look at some of the expensive boats.

I began talking to a guy named Joe, who owns a boat in the slip next to ours. He told us all about the local area, including how clams and oysters are caught and how we should use a particular shower in the clubhouse because he took the water saver out of it to increase the water pressure.
