We had a wonderful sail to Cuttyhunk. As we got closer we could see lots of masts and the AIS reflected a red mass where the anchorage was. But then Andrew told me that was inside where the mooring balls are and we were not going to anchor there.
We don’t normally pull back on the anchor once it is down, but this time we did as it is renown to be a slippery, grassy anchorage. We dragged a bit and then we bit into the ground. Later that evening, Jeff, Jacqui and Daniel came across for a sundowner.
The following day we went ashore for a wander around. There isn’t much on Cuttyhunk, but we did have a lovely walk up to the bunkers. Sadly it was very misty and we couldn’t see the view.

Andrew and I left Laura on board and went to play Mexican Train Dominoes with the Mellow Puffs.
The following day we waited until 10;30 and left. We had to wait for the current in the cut we were going through to be right. While we were on our way to Martha’s Vineyard, we heard a weather warning. There was going to be a big thunderstorm near Block and Montauk. We were far enough away from there but we still had hectic winds and grey skies. Thank goodness the current was going with us and we were doing 9+knots boats speed, which took at least an hour off our journey.
