On June 25th we left the dock (finally!) and sailed to Dutch Harbor. While there Peter took some snaps of the boatyard preparing to launch a wooden boat. From Dutch we sailed a short distance to Wickford Cove. Our mooring was pole to pole (see pic) which was new to us. On approach Jane set up lines fore and aft but could not figure out how she was going to loop around the poles.On our second approach to the mooring poles we discovered lines clipped to a wire which we could take and attach to our boat. It was so much easier than we had expected. Another first under our belt now. Wickford is a beautiful little harbor town full of antique & gift shops. We visited the kayak center and now think we will buy kayaks for our 60th birthday. On Saturday we left Wickford and anchored in Narraganset Bay to watch the air show taking place from Quonset AFB. We saw the Blue Angels, Red Devils, sky divers, and large cargo carriers. It was quite a show and the entire afternoon was sunny and warm!! On Sunday Peter woke up a year (and decade) older. We had a group from the dock join us for a surprise pizza party. There were balloons flying from the boat so he could not hide his birthday from anyone who passed by!!
