The wind is from the SW, and threatening to increase later, so we leave for Newport.
By late morning, the breeze is close to 15 knots and the seas are a bit bouncy. As we finally head up towards Newport, the following seas are close to 3 feet, and although it’s nice to sail, it has that “Block Island Sound” feel that only feels better when you stop.
No moorings to speak of in the harbor, but we do manage to get something over in Brenton Cove, right across from the NY Yacht Club. As we take the launch in, it is still blowing 15-20 knots. Cool but a little damp.
Ice cream is the first business of the day. We walk around a little (Marion a little more) and have a nice dinner.
Back on the launch, the breeze is still up, but calmer than before. The weather isn’t looking good for tomorrow. It may be another day in Newport.
