Port Washington Mooring
Field
We woke up to a beautiful
morning, Andrea moved through last night and we only had a few clouds left this
morning. We needed to provision and wanted to look around town, so we lowered
the dinghy. Our outboard has been giving us trouble lately and today it didn’t
want to run at all! So we called the water taxi for a pick up…it was a fun way
to get to town. We walked through a small farmers market, then through a
Mediterranean Market that was full of all kinds of neat things. It’s also a
café…I think we’ll need to come here for breakfast tomorrow. Port Washington
and the neighboring villages are very nice; full of neat little shops and
restaurants, plus all the regular things boaters need like a grocery store, laundromat,
West Marine and Ace Hardware. We had lunch at Salvatore’s Pizzeria, we love
finding great pizza and this was amazing.
We stopped at West Marina
and Stan picked up a few things to work on the outboard, we got the groceries we
needed and then called the water taxi to take us back to the boat. Everyone in
town was friendly and helpful. This is definitely a cruiser friendly town and
we will be back. Stan worked on the outboard and it is running better, but not
like it should. There’s always something that needs attention when you live on
a boat.
We spent the evening catching up with the crew on Rhumb Line; we haven’t seen them since last summer on Lake
Champlain. We had a great time, they're on their way to Maine too, so I’m sure
we’ll run into them again.
