We headed out of Bristol about 10 am on July 19th. When we got just past Newport we encountered fog. Paul turned on the radar only to discover it wasn\u2019t working. So we about turned and headed into Newport harbour, anchored and set about to troubleshoot the problem. P checked everything while I heated up some leftovers for lunch.<\/p>\n

After some food, Paul went back over the wires and sure enough while fixing something else a few days back he\u2019d jiggled a wire out of place (P actually it is a Raymarine ethernet connector that is defective so I had to jury rig it to keep it connected). So two hours later we headed back out into the fog on route to Cuttyhunk. Lucky for us the fog mainly lifted and we could see at least a mile or two the whole trip. We had a pleasant sail and arrived to Cuttyhunk around 6pm.<\/p>\n

\"Temporary<\/a>
Temporary anchorage while fixing the radar. Very crowded and busy!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Upon arrival we were met by the Raw Bar boat, a boat that serves up locally grown oysters in the half shell to those who wish to pay for it. The people on the boat actually shuck the oysters right in front of you as they ready your plate. Of course, Paul wasn\u2019t about to pass that up and he tells me they are the best he\u2019s ever had. <\/p>\n

We went ashore the following day for an explore. It\u2019s a small island so a few hours of walking and you\u2019ve seen most of it. While I really enjoyed the quiet here, after a few nights we were ready to head on. Paul had another serving of oysters the night before we left. We departed on the morning of July 22nd and made our way to Martha\u2019s Vineyard. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
