Matchmaker spent her summer exploring the Marthas Vineyard - The Elizabeth Island and Narrangansett Bay.
 
Yesterday she was winched into the water having spent 6 weeks on the hard and having engine services - hull polishes and new antifoul paint on her bottom. The propeller was cleaned and oiled and new sacrificial  anodes were fitted.
 
We filled up with deisel 185 gallons at $544 - ( 60% cheaper than in Europe! ) Topped up the water tanks and took on provisions for the 2 day passage.
 
1600hrs and we were leaving Newport Harbour. Forecast is SE winds at 20 knots and then calms for Sunday.
