Day 1: Traveling to Block Island RI.
We hit real heavy fog once we got into the Long Island Sound. Thank goodness for our new Garmin Radar!!
But as the day went on, the fog lifted and became a nice sunny day; Pictures of the Fisher Island Light and a fishing boat in Block Island Sound.
We met up with John and Lynn when we arrived at Block Island. Chance to see their new Viking!! Great time, great dinner!!
Day 2: Traveling to Cuttyhunk MA.
For pretty much of the whole trip we had a strong 2-3 foot "following" sea. Learned a lot about the Monk36 today, certainly learned how to surf as the waves pushed us a long. That was not much of an issue, but when we arrived at Cuttyhunk, the winds had picked up quite a bit and were blowing a steady 30 MPH. I did try and dock but with the wind directly on the beam and I could not dock "stern to", so we decided to take a mooring!! That was an adventure I'm not looking forward to repeating any time soon. Let's just say we were the entertainment for the night. The mooring field was packed, heavy winds and new mooring balls with risers (?) and eye holes at the end, no mooring lines (??), new to us, it took Val and I a couple of passes.... but success... we even got a standing ovation from our audience!! We were rewarded with a great sunset. Not to mention the Cuttyhunk "raw bar" boat delivering some really good "Cuttyhunk" oysters.
Day 3: Traveling to Plymouth, MA.
Nice beautiful day, sunny, slight wind. Timed the trip through the Cape Cod Canal perfectly... Had the Perfect Agenda moving at 14 mph!!
The Train and Sagamore Bridges:
The trip into Plymouth harbor was very pretty and hot. The heat and humidity has been tough the last few days.
Safe Harbor Plymouth Marina was really nice, great docks, little restaurant and of course "Plymouth Rock", more like Plymouth Peeble...
Day 4: Finally heading home to Hull, MA
Another beautiful and hot day. Sunny skies, slight wind, absolutely gorgeous!! Val used her phone to keep track of where we were!! Look at that temp.. 91!!
Two iconic lighthouses on this leg, Minot and Boston Lights!
We finally arrived!! Safe Harbor at Sunset Bay!!
