Block Island
After a wonderful visit to Mystic, including a visit to Mystic Seaport Museum, we sailed out of Long Island Sound to Block Island. Leaving Mystic we rode a 2.5 knot current, which spat us out Watch Hill Passage. The winds picked up to 15 knots and we sailed on a beam reach to Block Island. The winds were well above 20 knots by the time we reached the channel into Great Salt Pond. We had reefs in both mainsail and genoa, flying along at 8.5 knots! Fabulous sail!
