Block Island to Cuttyhunk on July 3rd and the 4th

We started meandering along our summer journey heading towards Block Island. We departed Pier 65 on July 1st at 11:00. The sailing was nice and we arrived mid afternoon. The place was much more crowded than expected and the dingy dock had a traffic jam.

There were several Island Packets and we anchored by s/v Simple Life, an IP37, and owners Michele and Joe Boulay who joined us for drinks aboard Wind Runner.

We had lunch at the Oars Head and enjoyed the sun 'boat and people watching'.

The sunsets are always beautiful but we captured a particularly nice one.

We headed out to Cuttyhunk on Sunday morning. We had a chance to visit with Sandy and Jean Brown, our neighbors from Salmon River Airport. It always amazes us that ice cream tastes so much better when you get it from a marina. Well, the ice cream at Cuttyhunk did not disappoint us - it was absolutely delicious. When we headed out to the boat, we saw Simple Life anchored near Wind Runner. We joined Michele and Joe for cocktails along with shrimp and oysters from the Raw Bar Boat. The fireworks at Cuttyhunk were a pleasant surprise and absolutely fantastic.

We head for Oak Bluffs on Monday.
