Our journey has begun...

While Rebecca, Jeannette and Reece enjoyed a last day on-shore with our friends, Ed, Ben and I got the journey started.  No real wind, so we exercised the engine by traveling 52 miles from Bristol, RI to Stonington, CT.  Not many waves at all and the boat ran fast and well.  Here is our route:

We are currently anchored just inside the break water in Stonington Harbor, riding out a nasty thunderstorm.  Fortunately, things are better now - we just had a wonderful pizza from Mystic Pizza, probably the last one for a very long time!  We had an unexpected treat - Pastor Ray parked at the point and flashed the lights of his truck at us.  We could see him and turned our anchor light on and off so he could find us in the anchorage.  A last goodbye from a very dear friend!  Take care, brother, we'll see you again soon!

Our destination for tomorrow is Block Island!!!
