Friday August 10th

We made it out to Martha’s Vinyard Yesterday.
Our vacation voyage started last Sunday. Due to bad weather we stayed in Harbor (Padanaram) and left for Cuttyhunk Island on Monday. It was a sunny, down wind run. Poled out the Genoa and ran wing on wing all day.  Moored in the inner harbor for a few days. We always enjoy Cuttyhunk. Had pizza at Soprano’s pizza Wednesday night (8th). Great sunsets.

Left Cuttyhunk Thursday (9th) for Vinyard Haven. No wind. Motored the whole trip over. Hot. Took around 4 hrs I think. Got into VH around 1:30ish but were unable to get a mooring in the inner harbor. It was race night so we got to see a lot of nice boats sailing around. Closed down the evening with Dank n Stormies and Chicken Vindalo.

The outer harbor is very rolly and weather is on the way. We’re going to attempt to get a mooring inside of the breakwater but no one is leaving due to storms coming up from the south. I wish we had our outboard motor to get Skipper into shore but I’m making due with oars. Outboard should be fixed sometime next week. I think we’re going to stay here for a few days.
