Portland CT to Old Lyme - Day One

Our first day started with heavy rain and a forecast to last most of the day. We left Portland, CT in the rain and headed down the Connecticut River, 3 days later than planned. With a favorable tide and not another boat anywhere we had the river entirely to ourselves. All things considered a pretty nice ride.

 

We'll spend the night at the Old Lyme Dock Co., between the I-95 Baldwin Bridge and the bascule railroad bridge, and head for Norwalk first thing tomorrow morning. We're on the "outside" dock, and it promises to be a rockin' and rollin' night.
