North Cove, Old Saybrook, CT - Sept 24 - 25

NE 20+ kn winds and 5-6’ waves all on our stern made for a sleigh ride from Cuttyhunk to Old Saybrook, CT. Top hull speed was 16 kn coming down a wave. Watch Hill RI was an option that we checked along the way but the harbor was crowded, passed on the $60/night yacht club moorings and with the outside anchorage unprotected, we decided to continue to North Cove where we’ve been before and knew would be a good choice to spend a couple nights. A beautiful town with a well protected cove, it is also a port of refuge with free moorings marked with yellow tags. Tuesday’s prediction of high winds and rain will keep us here another day. The vibration seems to have disappeared with the new zinc.
