After the storm yesterday evening (west winds at 30knots), the wind shifted around to the north during the night. Our little bay doesn't provide shelter from this direction. We're rocking all night. Come morning, our first order of business is to find a better anchorage, which we do just beyond the Wickford Marina. Getting there involved bucking a 15 knot wind with waves. I can't imagine what the open ocean is like.
But when we return to Eclipse after going ashore and checking out the town, the local gendarme has paid us a visit. It seems that anchoring is not allowed in Wickford harbor. We are forced to support one of the local marinas, and the town council and police support this.
So we're securely ensconced at the Wickford Marina, where we also have a shower, jacuzzi, laundry, wifi, and a kitchen at our disposal.
