Last Lay Day on Block Island

Day 20 was a beautiful sunny day. I am so glad we decided to extend our stay on Block Island one more day. Troy has been spending a lot of time out on the bow of the boat. He is getting a lot of attention from passing boats. There are dogs on boats all around us, but they have to be brought to shore to do their business, Troy does not. He is so easy, and just loves being with us on the boat.
George and I hailed the bakery boat once again and bought muffins this time. Then we headed to the beach for a long beach walk. It was low tide so it was pleasant to walk on and the waves were really big, there were even surfers out there.
We returned to the boat for lunch, then George and Jack went fishing over at the channel entrance to the harbor. It was a very relaxing afternoon on the boat for Troy and I. We sat on the back of the boat in the shade, I read while Troy napped under my chair. George returned to the boat with no fish. I was hoping to have fish tacos for dinner but I guess we have to go out.
The group met on the docks and eight of us took a taxi to the Spring House for martini night. We were seated out on the veranda overlooking the ocean. It was a beautiful evening. It was a wonderful ending to a great stay on Block Island. We walked back to the boat, getting a gelato on the way and stopping at the library to return the movies. I did 20,000 steps today on my pedometer. Probably was not a good idea, as my heal is killing me.
Tomorrow we leave Block Island for Newport. We heard from Nixie, the sailboat we left in Sag Harbor with the leaking fuel tank. The old tank has been removed and the new tank will be installed tomorrow. They hope to leave Sag on Friday and head back to EYC.
