Narragansett Bay / Dutch Island Harbor

We couldn't stand the zoo of boats in little Hadley Harbor. It won't be any better on Marthas Vinyard or Cuttyhunk because of Labor Day weekend. As always, after a cold front has passed, this is an opportunity for a brisk sail. We used the NE winds, about 18-20 knots, sailing downwind. In the afternoon we turned North and tacked up the West Passage of Narragansett Bay. We anchored in Dutch Island Harbor. From here we will visit Jamestown, tomorrow.
