Sailing Trip to Block Island!

Chris was supposed to fly out to Bonneville & go land speed racing.  But a freak storm came through & drowned everything!  They were hoping to get the track dry & clear, but it didn't happen.  1st time since 1978 - that Speed Week was cancelled - wow!  Guess we were lucky we hadn't driven out.  A bunch of our friends did however.  Such a bummer.

 Fortunately the storm came through before Chris flew out, so he cancelled his flight.  And so we decided to sail to Block Island - vacation time was already approved.
 Beautiful day for a sail, although we didn't have much wind going out.
 We stayed at Champlin's resort - it was packed!
 Of course we got our biking done!  Block is pretty hilly - so we got a good workout.
 It's a small island, but beautiful.  And you get a water view around every corner.
 View from our bike ride
 View from our friends home - nice, huh?
 Quaint downtown
 Bolts having fun in the water.
 We stayed a couple days - we did a lot of relaxing - it was so nice!  Then it was time to sail home  Good wind & good company!  We saw some dolphins too, which is rare up here!
 This guy was flying!
 Good vacation = tired pup!
 Cute island - can't wait to get back!!
