Dy 99, 9.3.18, Charles Island/Milford CT

Great sailing today. Nice wind out of the south, turning to more Southwest mid afternoon. We stopped in Black Rock harbor at Captain's Cove Marina were we met Tom who drives the courtesy launch. He let us tie up for free and enjoyed tales of our adventure. The gas dock jockey was surprised to hear that one can go by boat to all the places we visited. It's a short walk to a good grocery store, so we are well stocked again. 

Back out on the Sound we found ourselves looking at building cumulous clouds. We checked the radar and forecasts. But none of them developed into a serious threat. Home for the night is just off Charles Island near Milford, CT.

Days 36-38, August 4-6. Homeward bound

Exiting the New River near low is rather exciting. The whole estuary funnels through a narrow channel and can reach high speeds with rapids...
