We passed through the Padanaram bridge at 10am this morning. We decided on a short trip over to Cuttyhunk (one of our favorite places in the world). Catalpa is so loaded with stuff, we just wanted to see how she’d handle. Shakedown cruise. Two hours later and all is well. Anchored in Cuttyhunk harbor. Can’t find the snap kit or Oliver’s spare antibiotics. I’m sure they’ll show up when I least expect it.

We’re both still tired from getting ready. We’ve been preparing the boat for the last 6 months. Probably loading for 2 weeks. Yesterday we spent all day shutting down the house.

Onward to Block Island, RI tomorrow (probably).
