Weekend - continued...

Day 2 (Saturday, July 2nd):
After a good night's rest.. we started the morning with pancakes. Thanks to Pete & Dan for making pancakes :D Met up with Catherine and Sally and we headed off to brunch/lunch (yes.. right after breakfast!) at Tigin's (nice Irish bar/restaurant that serves a mean brunch menu).

We made it on board!! We set sail for Long Island Sound.. taking in the breeze and rays of sun creeping through the clouds. There were a couple of small educational stations which we took turn going to. We learned a bit about sailing, the ecosystem around Long Island Sounds and preservation that's going along the Sound. At one of the stations - next to learning about the marshland around the Sound, we got a little too acquainted with "pickle grass" and later fresh "seaweed"!

Dan couldn't join us today since he was away at a friend's party... so Peter was assigned as head of the table being the only guy present. The girls thought that he was just oh sooo cute!! After dinner, we headed to a couple of bars to continue with the day's theme = chilling!!

End of Day 2!
