Crazy winds and big choppy waves keep us in Narraganset bay two days. But even though the forecast for Tuesday was for more of the same, the waves were big (3-4) but with long periods, making for easy sailing except that the wind, while predicted at 15 kts was only 5. We motor-sailed almost all the way to Cuttyhunk, only sailing the last two hours. Gusts to 20 or 25 predicted for the afternoon, so we stayed put and walked the beach. Gusts never materialized, and winds dropped to 10-12. So much for accurate forecasts.
Cuttyhunk is such a nice island with a relaxed atmosphere. We enjoyed walking the town and looking out from the high point at 200ft.
