August 18th,

Left Martha's Vineyard to cross the Nantucket sound. We are meeting with Philip and Claire in Cotuit so we can hopefully go for the weekend in Nantucket. The weather is very wet, as storms are rolling and winds are fairly strong. We are safely anchored however.

After the heavy rain we went to the town dock where we filled up our water tank. Given the late time and the fact that Claire and Philip are coming after 10pm from Boston we took a mooring ball that we expected not to be in use tonight. Hopefully our plan will work. We will leave early tomorrow for Nantucket as the wind is expected later in the morning.
