NEWPORT, RI

Left Port Jefferson at sunrise headed up Long Island Sound. Originally we planned to stop at Point Judith for the night but we had excellent favorable current and reasonable conditions so we carried on to Newport RI.  The last 2 to 3 hours were a bit rough but not too bad and the weather tomorrow looked much worse so glad we carried on.  I would not have liked to spend much time at Point Judith, thank you very much.  We put the anchor down in good light, always a plus.  Not much to take a photo of today- just water.  There was a large boat that looked like a car carrier coming out when we were headed up to Newport but it was getting dark.

We will take a break here for a week and then carry on.  There is snow in the forecast so good to slow down.  We have friends here and a marina nearby that actually has their moorings ready and it is reasonable.
