Our trip from Block Island was smooth since we have now decided to continue a plan of early morning departures. The sea is calm and the winds have been fair, motor sailing once again. Upon our arrival we have many choices for a mooring because we are early. Later in the day we watched many a boat head out for lack of space.
Once settled in, we went ashore to scope out the local environs. Very beautiful and very remote. We liked our choice in mooring because we were on the front line and all the nightly noise fell away from us. There were several hardy parties to be seen. But not heard by us!Exploring the island was a gas. We went for a long hike out to the most westerly end of the island where there are World War II bunkers. Jim pissed on one. Really Jim is nothing sacred? We provisioned up at the only market and arranged for a lobster dinner that night. People here are very friendly and the whole place seems like a throw-back to an earlier time in America.
Next morning we walked to a B&B and had a lovely breakfast of french toast. A wedding was setting up and there was lots of activity.Here's a photo of Jim hanging out with the Blues Brothers. Wow, who remembers them?
Anyway, back to our dinner for the evening. We ordered two lobsters that were cooked for us in advance. All we had to do was stop by the dock at 6PM and pick them up. Corn and salad provided by us from the local market. As we were setting up dinner, a small craft of really cute young folks began to cruise the harbor. It was a raw bar! Local oysters, clams and absolutely killer chowder. Of course we had to have some of that. Here's Bob picking up the yummy stuff.Tomorrow we head out for Martha's Vineyard.
Full of seafood and happy as clams!
Follow with us...more to come!
