August in Essex - the Cousins

One of the other cool things about living here is that in August the "cousins" come to town for up to a month and stay just down the road at an old family property. They usually come down to the boatyard in a big gang and head out on the Fat Cat, a Marshall Cat boat, and various vessels to spend some of the last great summer days down rivah.  Pictured in some of these photos are Patty, Tom, Sara, Olivia, Stephen, Andrew and Matt as they head down to the dock and out to the beach.
