7/28/2023 - Stonington Point

After our visit to the lighthouse, we decided to stay on the point for a while as the breeze was wonderfully cool.  Just watching the boats and birds was very relaxing and enjoyable.  As we had no real plan for the trip, this was a wonderful way to spend the afternoon.
