Our day trip out of state was a success and I didn't even have to eat a thunderstorm. Flouting the forecast, the rain kindly got itself out of the way on the drive up to Portsmouth and we were able to spend a wonderfully brightening day on Star Island.
( The wind has come to say, you must take me while you may. )
In order to make this trip work, we had to be awake at sunrise and out of the house an hour later. Rob had arranged for the tickets so long as I handled the driving: he had wanted to take me to Star Island for years. We were awake at sunrise. We were in Portsmouth well in time to make our ferry. We had a plan in place if the cruise was canceled for inclement weather and we didn't need to use it. We spent most of the day on the water or beside it, always within earshot and the salt smell of it. I have been so ill this summer, I have terribly missed the sea. It was one of the best days I have had in a long time. Already I want to plan for next summer. We did say we will come back.
