We left Mystic CT
and started out for Stratford CT. The
forecast was for better than the day before but still a little rocky.
The cruise began
with trying to get off the dock with a good breeze pinning us there. We had to back up to the end of the fuel dock
and the wind pushed the stern into the fairway as our bow came off the dock and
we were able to get away.
It is about 30
minutes from Brewer Mystic to the end of the channel and Long Island
sound. During this time the wind was not
too bad and everything looked good. Once
into the sound the seas were much better than the day before but it was still a
little rocky, probably 2-3ft seas and 15kt winds on our bow. It was a long day as the tides were against
us all day. We travelled about 56 kt
miles in about nine hours.
It was really
just an uneventful day of cruising. We
did have lunch (much better than the day before).
We pulled into
the Housatonic river and cruised up to the Brewer Stratford marina https://www.byy.com/marinas/brewer-marinas-stratford-ct/
It was almost slack tide when we arrived but
still a bit strong. We had no problems
docking and were very comfortable in our slip for the night.
For dinner we had
Italian sausage and pasta with a cream tomato basil vodka sauce. We then watched the Patriots beat the Bucs in
the Thursday night game. Good wifi at
this Brewer’s and we were able to stream the game on Amazon Prime.
The next morning
we went over to the fuel dock to pump out and were on our way to Mamoroneck NY.
