We headed out early to see the Parade of Sail of Tallships as Opsail came into New London. It was HOT….heat index in the high 90s even by late morning. They were running late…a couple hours beyond the published schedule. We were nearly melting then only got to see one of the big ships actually under sail…The Coast Guard Eagle. They blamed calm winds and mechanical trouble…..all probably natural hazards of a gathering like this but for this spectator, too much. I’m glad we went but it wasn’t really fun. We got to spend a little more time with Carol though…she joined us in the miserable heat. We had some great clams and ice cream afterwards!
