Aphrodite arrives Block Island just ahead of Katrina
August 31st, 2005
We set sail at 10 am on Monday and arrived at Block Island, RI in a
freshining breeze of about 30 kts. We blew out the assymetrical spinnaker
from Cloud 9 in aboiut 25 kts of wind. We are safely on a mooring and plan
to stay a few days or untill it becomes crowded. Labor Day is one of the 4
biggest boating days here, the others being 4th of July, Memorial Day and
Victory Day (the day the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima).
