Ready to Cruise - Finally!

After several days of waiting, the Electrician arrived on Monday and spent six hours working with Colin to try and solve the problems with the inverter. As we expected it is not going to be easily or cheaply solved but having isloated it all we can at least go cruising for the rest of the week and sort it out after the owners leave next Monday.

As Graham and Janet only have 5 days left onboard we are going to try and make the most of their time and explore a bit of Connecticut and Long Island.

The plan is to leave Newport around 9.30am Wednesday morning and sail to Old Lyme on the Connecticut River, about 55nm away. We have a berth booked at a marina 2 miles down the river, for Wednesday and Thursday nights. A friend of the Owners is due to join us on Thursday and Friday so we will go out for day sails around Long Island Sound.

We have been given strict instructions to be moored or anchored close to a bar which will be showing the football on Saturday - no pressure! We are due back into Newport on Monday 3rd July in time for the Independence Day parties and fireworks on the 4th!

We have a berth booked in Newport Shipyard for the 3 weeks the Owners are away so that we can get some carpentry and electrical work done.

But before then we are just looking forward to sailing again and so we are keeping our fingers crossed that the weather is kind to us for the rest of the week.
