Timeline
16:25
Grab a seat at the waterfront counter. Order fresh seafood and a drink. The live music on Friday and Saturday adds a nice hum to the evening, but even on other days, watching the boats pull into the docks is a quiet pleasure.
16:40
Walk the two minutes from the restaurant to Huddy Park. Find a spot near the replica Revolutionary War fort. The open space gives you an unobstructed view to the west.
16:55
Watch the sun set toward the WSW. The golden light hits the fort walls just as the sky turns orange. Take a moment to notice the USS Randolph anchor nearby, a silent witness to the war that followed the one the fort represents.
