June 24, 2021 Cuttyhunk to Newport, RI

Today is our last full day on the boat. We had a leisurely morning on the boat.  It was a beautiful and calm morning.  Here is a picture of the boat next to us.  You can see there is hardly a ripple on the water.

We decided to go on a nature walk on Cuttyhunk.  On our way to the island we stopped at our New Castle boat friends.  We were talking to them about boats and they invited us on to their boat, 2006 Sabre 425, for a tour.  They have a lovely boat.  They were giving us tips if we decide to buy a boat.  We got their card and hope to stay in touch with them because they are very nice people.

Then we went for our walk.  Here are some pictures from our walk.

On the way back to the boat, a couple pasted us and as soon as they walked by I realized it was my old Lytron boss, Dave Voorhes and his wife.  He use to rent a house on Cuddyhunk for the summer but he hadn’t been back for 15 years.  Weird that he was there when we were there.  We visited briefly with them.

We returned to the boat and had lunch.  I packed one bag and then it was time to leave.  We had a nice four hour sail back to Newport.

That evening we had dinner with my college friend, Leigh, at a lovely restaurant right on the water.

All in all it was a lovely day even if it was our last whole day on the boat.
