There’s nothing quite like a little reunion and cruise on smooth waters.
That’s exactly what happened recently when former longtime Fair Havenite and Knollwood School and Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School Class of ’78 grad Kate Hamilton set sail for a SeaStreak cruise from Highlands to Nantucket.
Once aboard, she realized that the captain of her ferry was none other than — fasten your seatbelts — fellow Fair Havenite, Knollwood and RFH grad Bill Heath, also a former Fair Haven police officer.
The two hadn’t seen one another in several decades. Feeling quite at home with the karmic coincidence, they set sail for a waterborne reunion. He steered the ship (or ferry, that is) and she got a captain’s eye view in the wheelhouse and a lot of catching up.
Grateful for her roots and this little happenstance, Hamilton said, “How cool is it when you are travelling aboard the #Seastreak to #Nantucket and you know the Captain from High School? So up to the Bridge I am invited and off for a trip of beautiful views, shared memories and a special day to always remember. Thank you William Heath for asking me and what a way to start my Nantucket visit.”
How cool? Very.
It is indeed a small world and these hometown connections always wind their way back home somehow. Here stays the neighborhood.

Keep your eyes open for your own reunion and trip back home and let us know about it.
