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.
