Just west of the museum is Prudence Island and Potters Cove, a popular destination for pleasure boats of all types. We sailed in and borrowed a mooring, then rowed around the cove in the dinghy and took a walk on the gravel beach. Upon returning to Eclipse, we were informed that we were on someone else's mooring and they wanted it. No problem, we anchored nearby for a bit, but as the wind was building nicely, we set sail again.
Destination Wickford, totally upwind, and a strong wind it was. With two reefs in the main and one in the jib, progress was slow. Other sailboats with real keels just sailed by us. But we weren't in a hurry, and arrived in Wickford about 5pm. Dinner was fish chowder as the sun set.
