Cat Tales is in East Greenwich Rhode Island

After roaming the streets of Onset for a couple of days, eating famous Marc Anthony's Pizza, and enjoying the jazz band at a local watering hole, we headed out into Buzzard's Bay for an unbelievable day. The wind was light, but in the right direction, the current was also in our favour. We effortlessly made our way past Newport and right on up the East Passage and the Narragansett Bay and into shallow, sheltered Grenwich Bay where we are tied up to a mooring.

We made ice, water and each had a shower along the way as the trip did require a fair bit of motoring. We'll put the ice to use right away after sending this note out! After all, a celebratory drink is in order. We have made the journey this far through cold rain, a hurricane, uncountable amounts of fishing traps, and many cold, damp nights.

Tomorrow's efforts include doing all we can to make solid contact with Herb Hilgenberg, our weather guru, topping up diesel, gas, and propane, and making all checks in anticipation of extra crew and the future passage across the gulf stream to Bermuda.

Cheers
