From New London where we dropped off our friends, we sailed to Stonington Harbor, and dropped the anchor. As dusk fell, a band struck up at a nearby marina. Intrigued, we rowed over and came ashore. We didn't talk with anyone, but it looked like a fancy affair with well-dressed people and some in costumes. We danced on the grass at the fringes and enjoyed the festivities, then when the band took a break, rowed back home.
Before sunrise we're off, out of Stonington and headed east. The wind is very light, so we're motor-sailing until late morning when the wind builds. As we turn in to Narraganset Bay where the waters are rough and choppy, the wind increases more until we're running under a double reefed main and no jib. But at least the waves subside. We drop anchor in the same cove near Wickford where we've been before
