Greenwich, CT
June 2
We traveled down Long Island Sound to Greenwich.
It is a very wealthy area with lots of fancy boats.
We anchored at the edge of the mooring field in a rather open spot.
We hoped for a northeast wind, which was predicted. The next day we took on fuel at Palmer Point Marina at $1.49
per gallon, which was a little cheaper than we had expected.
We took the boat out on the anchor and dinghied back in to Palmer Point
to walk to the grocery store. By
the time we dinghied back with a boat load of provisions, the wind had picked up
and we were drenched.
It calmed some for the night, but the next morning the
currents were against the tides with little wind to bring us up straight into
the waves, so we bounced and hammered on the anchor for over 24 hours with 2 - 3
ft. side seas. It was too rough to
even go forward for the anchor or get our dinghy in. Tried to work on the boat or sew, but no luck as we had to
hold on to ourselves and our things so much.
It calmed some at night and in the morning we felt a slight bounce and
immediately got the dinghy in and left.
We figured that if it were rough it would be easier to be underway rather than
to sit at anchor.
The weather was so bad
that we have no photographs of this area.
