Away, Away!

We left Edgartown on July 22nd under a shining sun but decided to tuck into Oak Bluffs, just 8 nautical miles away, for a day or two because the weather forecast was for stronger winds and rains. We haven’t stayed … Continued

Back to the Vineyard – Edgartown, with a Splash of Vineyard Haven

by watsons | posted in: Family and Friends, Southern New England Sailing | 1

We left Nantucket later in the morning on July 18, allowing the fog to lift. It was an overcast and dreary morning. Edgartown is always a stop on our travels out this way. Nice harbor, beautiful architecture of a classic … Continued

Nantucket, The Gray Lady

by watsons | posted in: Family and Friends, Southern New England Sailing | 0

We were last here in 2016 when our trip was abruptly shortened due to a threatening tropical storm that never materialized in the end. I have some pretty nice photos from then, so I need switch it up a bit … Continued

We left Cuttyhunk bright and early at 7 am on July 13th to head to Lake Tashmoo on Martha’s Vineyard, a 15-nautical mile journey. The safest and easiest passage between the Buzzards Bay side of the Elizabeth Islands and Vineyard Sound … Continued

FISHERS ISLAND, New York (but shouldn’t it belong to Connecticut?????)

by watsons | posted in: Family and Friends, Southern New England Sailing | 2

It’s been a very long time since I wrote a blog post, over a year. I made a conscious decision to only blog when there was something new or different to describe. That certainly doesn’t mean that there has been … Continued

3 Weeks, 4 Islands, 6 Harbors – Montauk and Home

by watsons | posted in: Family and Friends, Southern New England Sailing | 0

We hadn’t been to Montauk yet this summer so when it became clear that Montauk was the only place where Eleanor Q and Kindred Spirit could/would cross paths, it became our last stop of the 3 weeks. We were eager … Continued
