Marc-  We started the day off with the 20-25 knot North winds that have been around for about one week.  This did not affect our morning walk or our joining the New York Times Crossword puzzle zoom group.  I later did a few boat projects such as polishing the stainless steel, winches, railings and lifeline stanchions.  I also cleaned several of the boat fenders.

Michael and I went off to explore a new hotel resort complex for John Gilmartin.  The finding is that the place deserves its 4 star rating.  We also went to our frequent stops at Home Depot and West Marine and the Shelter Bay Marine facility where Fiddler's Green will be having some repairs done.

We finished off the day with a dinner birthday celebration for Michael.  Unfortunately the Rangers did not do well for one of their best fans, losing to the Bruins 4-0.
