Stonington, CT to Fishers Island, NY
Cormorants & a seal, East Clump off Fishers Island
Chis woke to my crankiness, caused by the obnoxious rolling. It had thrown my balance off completely. I was dropping things, bumping into everything and stumbling all over the place. Bizarre.
We called the launch on the VHF radio and went ashore for an early morning walk. Danny was now to the northeast, leaving overcast skies, very light wind, and southerly swells that were still working their way through Stonington’s breakwaters. We went to Noah’s for a delightful brunch, picked up the New York Times and walked down to the lighthouse and back.
I doubt we were back on the boat for more than 3 minutes before we dropped the mooring and headed to West Harbour on Fishers Island. Dinner with the Fowlers had been rescheduled, and while we were backtracking a little bit, it was worth seeing our friends. The forecast was light northerly winds, exposing us to the potential of a rough night on anchor. As it turned out, the winds were light enough giving us no grief at all.
