Despite the forecast that called for overcast skies with showers late in the day, we thoroughly enjoyed the day on Block Island in large part because today marked the third day that we didn’t have to worry about wind, current or tides - a rarity when constantly on the go. The morning was spent sprucing up Juno wiping off the brown stain that had reappeared on her hull and applying a coat of wax to prevent it from reappearing. We also took advantage of some down time to make arrangements to attend our nephew’s wedding. We then went ashore and walked through town to the expansive lawn of the Spring House Hotel (named for the adjacent spring that served the first settlers in 1660’s) where we picnicked, relaxing briefly in the Adirondack chairs. We continued walking to the SE lighthouse as the fog rolled in obscuring the view of the bluffs on the south side of the island. We returned to town and eventually the boat, completing about seven miles of walking just as the rain started to fall.
