Sailing Trip!

 The night before - we tied up to the BYC dock, so we could load our bikes & bags :)
 Our friend, Bob, stopped by and we celebrated with a cocktail & watched some of the single handed sailboat racers practice


Beautiful sunset

 Up & at 'em early!  (not so early, 8:30, we left the dock)  Bolts was already yawning and we hadn't even left the mooring field ;)

 Not much wind, so we had to motor sail the first part of our trip.   This big guy passed us - he was moving right along.
 Down the Sakonnet  river, no sailing here as it's too narrow.  But there is a lot to see




 For once, Bolts was content to sleep on the floor and not on my lap.  A half benedryl may have helped!  He's turned into such a nervous nelly lately. 
 Sailing into the wild blue yonder!!  Love it!

 It was a slow trip, but we finally made it to Cuttyhunk Island.  Our first stop.
 The harbor was pretty quiet. 

 We grabbed a mooring and then jumped into the dinghy to take Bolts to shore.  He needed to pee!!

 We took a nice long walk around the island.  There isn't a lot to see.  Some homes, a sailing center, a couple raw bar restaurants...

 It's pretty though


 plenty of room in the harbor!
 Our sailboat

 Lovely sunset.  It was a nice calm evening, so we slept really good :)
