Fischer's Island - Day 4

We spent a long day on the water, travelling to Fischer's Island. School officially started on Zusammen! Tyler's teacher has sent a detailed outline of what she is teaching the class for the week, so I intend to follow it pretty closely. Both kids seemed eager to begin school work, and as long as we took breaks every hour, stayed very focused. We spent about 3 hours on work, covering Social Studies, ELA, Math, and Music. All was review, so no challenges yet. I was very pleased that the kids remembered all their music! We've been off for the month of August, so I didn't know what to expect. Fischer's Island is beautiful. We only went to shore to get gas and water, but its a lovely, quiet community. I have visited several times before in my college days, when my good friend Mary Cairns was at her house there. Such great times we had! Tomorrow we are going to Claudio's Marina in Greenport. The marina is owned by Chris Claudio's father, and he has arranged for us to tie-up on the dock for a couple of nights. It will be great to have access to shore without using the dinghy or launch service. Thanks for much to Chris for arranging.
