Sunday 5/20 We'd like to leave today. Not only are they forecasting strong winds and significant waves it was foggy as anything when we got up. We decided to hang tight and check the weather as the day progressed. About 1:00 we headed out with the goal of getting as far as we could. We went through a few areas of dense fog, but they didn't linger. We were passing the turn off for Stonington (just the next town East of Mystic) and conditions seemed favorable for a course to Block Island. As we eased out from watch Hill, RI and made our turn the waves were too significant to our beam. Even changing course a bit towards Point Judith and then Newport did not make for a comfortable ride. We doubled back to Stonington (never been here before) and made our way to a mooring from Dobson Boat Yard. It's a small mooring area just off a small town, but the boats (mostly sail) are beautiful. We took the dinghy in, paid for our mooring and let Millie check out the local area. Grilled up some steaks and enjoyed the views in this beautiful harbor.
