August 2011 and IRENE

Already the 15th and we are just geting some time aboard CODA.  Made a short trip to Fishers Island, NY.

As many know this is a quaint, postcard-perfect island and village.  Moorings available from Pirates Cove for $30.  There is fuel at the yacht club.  Anchoring is popular, but beware of poor holding with kelp and gravel.  Once here, it is just jaw dropping beautiful and peaceful.

Hurricane Irene was on its way north on August 26 and we decided to haul CODA out of the water.  We went up the bay to East Greenwich.  Hauling out may prove to have been unnecessary, but since we have done it, we will do some bottom maintenance and install new equipment.
