Breakfast at Bristol - quaint old seafront properties in the historical district - people were busy populating the area when Captain Cook was still a boy! - Beechworth you are a new comer on the block - discuss the merits or otherwise of antipodean bacon - eggs Benedict superb!
Try to win over Baron - he remains resolute - I am not to be trusted - he has rare insight!
Down to the sea in boats - what every Rhode Island native is driven to do! - the landlubber watches the expert ready the boat - away - away up the Sakarnet River - under the Bridge built on land acquired from Peter's forefathers - admire the Massachusetts - feel sorry for the giant of history serving her last days as a monument to her glory days - admire the generosity of Peter's forebears in making her berth available - back past the coal fired power station down through the Bristol Narrows towards Peter's grandfather's former farm and house - slowly - slowly watch the depth gauge - 6 feet - 5 feet - 4 feet - 3 feet - not looking good - 3.5 feet - 4 feet - we just may make it to the jetty - 5 feet - sure will - take some shots looking up towards the house - hear Peter's memories of happy days in his grandfather's house - enthralling - he clearly was a character!
Back out of the Bristol Narrows - admire the classic craft that populate the area - think about the old movies and the glory days of environs of Newport.
Home to scallops and summer squash on a bed of spinach and feta - Once again Bernie would be jealous - I am eating well for someone who normally avoids seafood.
The others arrive in New York - Matilda has travelled well - Graeme has a new suite to compensate him for his luggage deciding that it wanted to do some sight-seeing before heading down to New York - locate Simon and Graeme by phone - where else but in the bar in University Place.
Admire Peter's skills as a woodworker and joiner - magnificent chippendale style tall boys, cabinets, desks and low boys - envy the skill, persistence and dedication involved in the creations.
Sip more Australian wine - learn about the US health system and intricacies of retirement planning from Peter.
