On Sunday we headed north across the Sound to the Connecticut shore and anchored among the Granite outcrops of the Thimble Islands.

Lots of power boats were rafted up and ashore families were using their weekend cottages but they all went home in the evening and left 3 yachts at anchor.

We were invited for drinks aboard “Impromptu”, a local Halberg 46 and Juergen and Gitte made us very welcome and we went back for a pancake breakfast in the morning!

A dinghy trip showed even more houses perched on small lumps of rock!
