Jack rounding Sandy Point

Left photo shows our actual track to Block Island in GPS - a little swaying with the ebb/flood current but not bad. Lower photo of Jack during a relaxing paddle around the north end of Block Island the day after a more strenuous crossing from Point Judith (mainland). Took public ferry back in thick fog - same route as paddle over so a clear warning to check the forecast to avoid becoming a "speed bump" for the ferry.
What a great paddle and one I'd like to try again some day. Off-season (mid-May) was the perfect time to hit Block Island. Inns just opening in the Spring and cheap - stayed at the one shown, Narrgansett Inn, nearly empty except for us. Restaurants are open for business but no crowds.
