Day 1 The adventure begins!

We were determined to leave on Thursday morning as planned but the greatest plans are made to be cancelled...or postponed. We woke to really cold temps and found our heater not working. Brr! Jane went to do a last load of laundry at 7:30 and Peter was able to get Ocean Options to come over and diagnose the problem. With no car we were limited on doing anything else and did not want to sit on the dock. Once people started coming for the weekend it would be more difficult to get away..not only those good bys all over again. Our heater was fixed by 11:30, just a disconnected wire forgotten after solar panel installation. So $95 dollars later we reversed from the dock, fueled up, and started out Narragansett Bay, saying good byee to everything we saw. Good bye NEB. Goodbye Prudence Island. Goodbye Jamestown & Newport. It is a little daunting and bittersweet but we look forward to new adventures ahead. Our sail to Block Island was under 6-8 ft following seas for 4 hours heading southwest so we were happy to arrive. It is deserted and we had our pick of moorings. No one answered our call in near 5PM and no one came out to collect $ so we will see in the morning. Peter is not feeling well...cold symptoms-possibly mild flu but he is resting & drinking lots of water. Once we leave Block Island tomorrow it is all virgin territory so there should be no problem finding us on the GPS tracker. Wish us luck!
