Met Norm Stone in Newport for lunch and delivery of replacement auto helm. Oops, I think I forgot to mention that the auto helm seemed to fail a few days ago during the Woods Hole traverse...the electronic wizard is still working on specifically what has been compromised. I continue to work on being the best first mate by memorizing the location of every single tool on the boat and you can imagine the array of tools that were packed for the trip.
Diane and Tim saying good bye and thank you to Norm for his never ending support and tasty lunch!
We spent a delightful night last night at one of our favorite spots, Gooseberry Island. Surrounded by the mansions of Newport and protected in a little cove, Gooseberry is a little gem one would normally never find without local knowledge .
Arrival at Point Judith... again, before sunset! Wow, what navigational skills we are displaying! We are anchored behind the breakwater which has been beaten up over the years.
Tomorrow brings a big adventure departing before dawn to reach either Hamburg Cove 7 miles up the Conn. River, or Port Jefferson depending when I can awaken captain Tim.
