Third Day

Top of the morning, our third day!   It is misting but not cold with an outgoing tide. We left Onset Mass. at 7am and   now leaving the CCC entering Buzzards Bay(thinking of Jimmy Buffet) Just went passed the Cape, Martha's Vineyard on our port side.  Land on both sides of us. The forecast is rain with heavy seas this afternoon. We are trying to stay ahead of it 😐 Cruising fairly fast for Serenity, at 10 knots.  Getting ready to make bacon and eggs.☕🍳 I am trying to enter periodically throughout the day and post/publish it all in the evening.

WE have been underway for 2.5 hours and have not seen another boat, not even a working one! Seas are calm but not for long. We are trying to make Point Judith, RI. before the weather turns.☔ Visibility is one mile!🙀
Kenny explained to me that one nautical mile is 6067 ft where as a statute mile is 5280 ft. For this blog all references to speed and distance will be in statute miles. It is interesting how nautical miles and knots came to be.  Look it up!! LOL 
It's 9:45 and we just passed  the end of the Elizabeth Islands on our port and the seas have increased 2-3 feet; nothing protecting us from the Atlantic Ocean rollers!
By the way    you have to sign in to Google to leave a comment👏 
On our starboard side, off the coast of RI we are passing 2 outcroppings of rock, a few miles off shore. First one is labeled on chart as 'Hens and Chickens' , the second is called 'Old Cock and the Wild Cat'.  Go figure!  All I see is ocean and sky all around us. 
Amazing how rapidly the seas can change. 

We are in Rhode Island Sound at 10:10, making great time. 
Can anyone figure out why it's difficult to leave a comment??? thanks 

View from inside last night as we were coming to Port in the dark🙅

So, here we are several miles off coast of RI, and Ken shows me a notation on the chart as we are passing over it, stating 
" Unexploded Depth Charge Oct.31 1947" followed by another notation stating TORPEDO RANGE. Now what?   WOW
glad they didn't go off...LOL
The red line is our path→
OK so it is 11am and the rollers are rolling. It's like being in an airplane with lots of turbulence !!! ✈This time port to starboard  instead of bow to stern and it is raining!!!
Just noticed this blog is on Pacific time. Have to update NOW!

It is 1:00 and we are at our destination, Point Judith.  The weather is not great and we were somewhat beaten up so we are done for the day.. Hopefully this marina will have the amenities we need, water, pump out, laundry, groceries...
2:00 and we are docked Point Judith Marina. We were here last year when we came through from Colchester VT.  My phone remembered the WiFi!  It's still gloomy chilly weather but all is good.  There is even a couple of restaurants within walking distance.  I will be updating for a while..
Most housekeeping is done,  going to walk around town of Point Judith. 

Walked 2 miles to Matunuck Oyster Bar. It was excellent but the oysters did not hold a candle to J's Oyster Bar!!! They are put through a tumbler, very small. Sweet though. The walk back was dark but refreshing. We are back on boat safe and sound, researching our next window of opportunity to leave here.
