We Are Off

We are on our way. We had planned a Labor Day departure, but on Sunday our work was done, the weather was perfect, and we just couldn’t resist another great sailing day on Narragansett Bay. We anchored that evening at Dutch Harbor. On Monday we continued on to Block Island, which was our planned original first stop. We always enjoy Block and had not been there yet this summer. It was quite breezy so we did not go ashore. Our first new stop was Old Lyme which is on the Connecticut River. It was a quiet anchorage just past the I95 Bridge. We picked up a few groceries in town which was a very short walk. We are now in Port Jefferson on Long Island. We are staying here an extra day before going on. We will need to slow our pace between now and the middle of next week as the weather early next week is not favorable for our trip down the New Jersey coast.
