Thursday, August 15. Day 39 We left Napatree Beach anchorage at 7am, this time missing the rock. After we had rounded Sandy Point and passed the Middle Ground Breakwall that protects Stonington Harbor we all of a sudden slowed down from something catching on the keel. The boat knot meter said we were going 6.1kts, […]
