We anchored last night at Point Judith - it was not very restful as the anchor alarm went off at mid-night and then again at 6am - caused by major wind shifts rather than anchor dragging. But I still had to get up and check and make sure everything was right. Today we had a very rainy and squally start, with lightning and thunder. Then the afternoon turned quite nice sailing in 15kts and not quite sunshine. We hit the tide correctly in Buzzards Bay and into the canal, and had a knot or 3 of push the whole way. We need to wait here for a little more settled southerly wind - looks like we may get that perhaps Sunday. And there are various jobs to do - tighten the alternator belts and get out the 'offshore lines' (boom preventers and staysail sheets and jack lines). Beth and Evan
