The morning in Newport just looked crappy. The wind blew overnight, and the forecast included wind on the nose and rain. Would it be true?
We waited and watched the radar for a while. The day wasn’t bad, but just not great. We waited a little, until we just decided to give it up and spend the day in town. A movie!
Lunch at the Black Pearl (haven’t had my chowder fix in a while) and then to see Inception at the local theater. Interesting, but not great movie. I’ll probably have to see it again before I can be truly disappointed in it.
We finish the day with a light dinner and a later than expected launch ride back to the boat. The evening is beautiful, though, and the large boats in the harbor with all their lights on make for quite a sight.
The day turned out to be better than expected, and even posed a better sailing day then forecast. We had fun in town anyway.
