Big hamburger - big appetite!

We each had a hamburger but Matt had two - furthermore, he finished both of his before we had eaten half of ours - such is a teenager appetite, as we're learning once again... The trip over from Stonington was bouncier than I expected.  There were 4 to 5 ft rollers coming in off the ocean, Fleetwing went up and then it went down for the two hour trip out to Block. Sarah felt a little queasy and Matt came up to the cockpit but nobody got sick. We ran through some unexpected fog along the way but everything cleared as we approached Block.

A small sample of Block Island anchoring (out by us)

You wouldn't know there was any kind of recession by looking at Block Island. It's packed as usual but we did find a spot close to the eastern shore and we're settled in for the next few days with company coming (Phil, Monique and Natalie) due on Saturday.
