Weather: Sunny and warm. Winds: Mostly 0...occasionally 5. Seas: Flat.
Departed Kingston after another leisurely morning, enjoying a dog walk in the park and a cafe' and cinnamon roll from a local coffee shop. Motoring out of the marina with west winds promised, up went the main and screacher. Initially made 5kts and dodged crab pots coming out of Appletree Cove.
Rounding the corner and southbound by Presidents Point, the winds died and the dull drone of the engine accompanied us across the mirror flat waters. 3hrs later, off the east side of Blake Island, a potential stopping point, we killed the engine and scrubbed Strider's waterline of her algae collection.
Though there were mooring buoys available at Blake, it was too early to stop. With Gig another 14nm away, we pressed, arriving around 1600. RT had Freestyle moored in the harbor, fenders over the side and beers! Great to have a floating dock available upon arrival!
