Yes, I’m still catching up…………… Two weeks after the 4th, we went to Block again. Since we are on a short leash for most of the summer, we can only go places within a 4-5 day reach, mostly alternating between … Continued

Last Hurrah for Summer 2016

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

Wow, the end of summer came suddenly, or so it seemed. After 17 months in the water, Kindred Spirit would soon be hauled to hibernate through the New England winter. The  September weather was cooperating, so how could we resist one … Continued

Interrupted by Hermine – Hurricane Party!

by watsons | posted in: Family and Friends, Southern New England Sailing | 3

We weren’t the only boaters impacted by the threat of Hermine. For us, it was a fairly easy decision to cut the trip short and head home. For cruising friends who were far from their homeport, or who had no … Continued

Off to the Islands – Nantucket, Interrupted

by watsons | posted in: Southern New England Sailing | 1

When we leave Lake Tashmoo, we usually head north and east around West Chop and East Chop on either side of Vineyard Haven harbor, dodging the big ferries as we cross. West and East Chop Lights are so similar, I … Continued

Off to the Islands – Lake Tashmoo & Vineyard Haven, MV

by watsons | posted in: Southern New England Sailing | 3

We intended to stay another day in Menemsha but the rolling became a bit much. Late that afternoon, we pulled up anchor and moved north around the western side of Martha’s Vineyard to tuck into Lake Tashmoo. Tashmoo is a … Continued

by watsons | posted in: Southern New England Sailing | 3

From Block Island, the next island stop was Menemsha harbor in Chilmark on the western tip of Martha’s Vineyard, perhaps our favorite place on the Vineyard. Menemsha is a quiet, working fishing village with front row seats to beautiful sunsets. … Continued

Off to the Islands – Block Island, First

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

Each summer, for at least 8 years, we would take a three-week trip usually out to Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket. It’s been four years since we have cruised out that way and we have missed it. New England has the … Continued
