ep40 - Sailing Block Island - Sailing Rhode Island - Hallberg-Rassy 54 Cloudy Bay - Sep 2018

From Newport, s/v Cloudy Bay (Hallberg-Rassy 54) continues the sailing east coast USA adventure to Block Island. Short sailing trip, only 20 nm away. Not much wind that day, so we had to motor most of the distance. We found Block Island very pretty, with nice beaches and a relaxed atmosphere. Similar to Martha's Vineyard, but on a much smaller scale. We planned for a couple of days in Block Island, to see the island and enjoy a cycle ride around it. But the weather has changed becoming dark, cold, rainy and windy. Which made our stay in Block Island very short, only one day. Plus, we needed to hurry for shelter, to be protected from the swell and winds of coming hurricane Florence. 7-8 September 2018 To better understand the story line of our videos, we invite you to read the daily articles on our blog: Day 1, Newport to Block Island: http://www.sailcloudybay.com/newport-to-block-island/ Day 2, Leaving Block RI Island for Stonington CT: http://www.sailcloudybay.com/block-island-to-stonington/
