Quarter to Half-Mile Visibility All Day Long


Block Island to Cuttyhunk - Most would have called today a real drag as we spent the entire day engulfed in fog.  From the moment we woke until we went to bed, we couldn’t see more than a half a mile at best due to the fog that remained with us all day.  While this made for cool, somewhat raw temperatures (only in the 60’s), the SE winds pushed us nicely along at about five knots all the way to Cuttyhunk, MA about 30 miles from Block Island.  When we arrived, we found the harbor virtually devoid of boats and thus had no trouble dropping an anchor in the small portion of the harbor set aside for anchoring that is normally filled with boats. Dinner was  veggie burgers and  green bean casserole as we work on eating up what remains - not that the rain, fog, and deserted looking Cuttyhunk had anything to do with staying on board.
