Swells made for bumpy sail. Also had to wait most of the afternoon for the fog to lift.

All the same we had a nice visit and spent time poking around the shops.

For dinner we grilled steaks on the boat, and then went out for ice-cream and elephant ears.

Prescott Park Dock to Isle of Shoals

Total Distance: 18 Miles Under Sail: 2
Average Speed: 4.8 kts
Conditions: Sunny, 75-80 F, Wind South at 0-5 kts, Seas 1-2 ft

Nice visit, although we started very early because of waves on the river. Girls slept as we motored to Star Island.

Grabbed a mooring and hiked around Star Island.

Saw lots of nesting seagulls who would give us dirty looks.

Went back to Prescott Park and watched the Wizard of Oz play. Very well done.

The girls and I pose for a picture on Star Island. Starlight is moored in the background.
