We just arrived at Block Island, Rhode Island today after a short run
from Essex, CT. We first came here in the summer of 1972 when it was
still relatively undeveloped. It was a great place then, and
although it has changed a great deal since, it is still one of our
favorites. The primary anchorage is called Great Salt Pond which is
like a a lake right in the center of the island and entered via a
narrow cut from the ocean. There are literally hundreds of summer
cruisers anchored and moored here right now, boats of all sizes,
types, shapes and descriptions. It is quite a sight. Block Island is
within relatively easy cruising distance from major east coast boating
centers like New York/New Jersey, Long Island Sound, Connecticut,
Newport, Cape Cod and Boston.

Nothing like your adventures but we still get out 3 or 4 times a week
for an hour or two. It was slick calm the other day and we ran
offshore a ways, down the beach and back through New Pass.
We dropped Ed off at dog beach for a while and came home.

We used an inflatable West Marine kayak on Heffley Lake, near Sun Peaks,
BC, Canada on Saturday. That count?
