Day 2 – Tuesday 10/26/10 Padanaram to Block Island

Our good weather deteriorated quickly as the wind kicked up a blow overnight in Padanaram.  Chris stood watch most of the night, making sure our mooring held tight.

Our cruise over to Block was uneventful, if you don’t count the fog, multiple close encounters with tugs, mega coal ships, the NOAA ship, and various barges being pulled and pushed up Naragansett Bay.  We think we might have even seen a seal coming out of New Bedford, but it could have been a lobster pot as well!!

Once anchored in Block, Chris went “prop diving” to see if the prop needed cleaning but after about 5 minutes in the 55 degree water, he decided to call it a day!  Luckily, I did not have to pull him out of the water with hypothermia….he managed to climb out on his own.   Anyway, we are snug tight in Block for the night, with a large catamaran and power cruiser for company who look like they might be heading our way tomorrow.  Who knows…??.!!
