Typical buzzards bay day. Sunny. No wind at the mooring. Wind built all day from the NE.

Sailed over to Quissett with wind with tide together. Niki in a bikini and smooth as can be. Wind and tide together. Wind built to 20+ knots but the sea state was smooth so it just got us there faster.

Picked up an open mooring in the harbor. Quissett is a beautiful gunk hole. Beautiful. But no pub. So lunch was ramen noodles and beer.

As we sat on the borrowed mooring we noticed everyone coming in in foulies and life jackets.

Wind had not really changed, but the tide had. Buzzards Bay....

Wind was now against the tide and we beat back to Padenarum into 20-30k and a steep buzzards bay chop.

Niki made a classic comment: why is it that everyone else is always hugging the land when we are always miles off shore on our own?

Wonderful.

Wonderful day.

We will be going back there.
