Back to Newport

We returned from Block Island to Newport and ended up staying here except for 2 nights in Cuttyhunk.  Kinvara is being hauled out in Warwick, RI next week and remain on the hard for the winter. We have started unloading stuff from the boat to Sarah's house in Newport. It's amazing how much stuff collects within. Our Ford Escape will not hold all the "stuff" so we have rented the small trailer from U Haul to get it all home. We plan to leave Newport on Sunday, September 9th and be back home in Florida by the 12th or 13th.

Kinvara underway

Cuttyhunk

We made a brief visit to Cuttyhunk Island. Originally we were on our way to Hyannis to visit friends and neighbors from Florida. We ended up staying an extra night then returned to Newport because our anchor remote connection had corroded and was unusable. Peter ordered the part and we returned to Newport to fix it and ended up visiting our friends by car.

Sunsets are always awesome on Cuttyhunk

Can you find the bird?

Patriot Place

While on a trip back to Franklin, our old home town, we stopped off at Patriot Place...home of the New England Patriots.  It has changed quite a bit. there is a large shopping complex attached to the stadium area as well as a medical center with emergency services from Brigham and Woman's Hospital. It was very impressive!
