The forecast called for rain mid-day so we decided to head into town late morning and hit the shops before enjoying lunch at Finn’s restaurant. We docked the dinghy at the Oar and walked the mile to town under cloudy skies. Once in town, we did a bit of shopping greeting the friendly kids hired to work for the summer - many from eastern European countries. Then the rain started around 12:30 so we headed to Finn’s restaurant and seafood market. While the market was closed, we sat outside on their balcony overlooking the old port where the ferries arrive and depart so there was plenty to watch while enjoying lunch which was very good. Did a bit more shopping and thankfully the rain stopped in time for our mile walk back to the boat.
Harry extracted the cream from a coconut we’d obtained in Abaco and used it to make fresh pina coladas which were enjoyed down below in the cabin as the rain started up again.
These are some of the many wild flowers we saw on Block Island during our stay
