Tuesday
We had an early morning flurry of activity with several bites and we landed four bluefish, one of which we let go; the others are filleted for subsequent meals. There is almost no wind today so we are making a direct line to Block Island. At -5pm we will decide whether to stay there or push on to make serious distance. Storms might be coming through later in the week so if we can get closer to New York we can be much more conservative in our planning.
We have read of many submarine sightings in the Block Island area but didn't see any ourselves. Probably a good thing as Dave would have wanted to put a line out to try to catch it!
We eventually stayed overnight in Block Island and were very happy we did; nice place with great facilities. The bar was right at the dock at Champlin's Resort where we docked. It was quite quiet by the time we wandered in, though there were a lot of boats in the marina. It turned out that we'd arrived during Block Island race week, so most were racing boats. The crews had all gone over to another local marina for an event.
Ahh, reminds me of my Submarine days. We also took a shower right afterward.
