Point Judith

Friday 8/31

It was a bumpy downhill ride from S. Dartmouth to the Harbor of Refuge at Point Judith. This huge harbor, behind 3 miles of breakwater, was built in the early 1900's by the Army Corps of Engineers for ships traveling between NY and Boston to ride out bad weather.  It was a welcome calm after 32 miles of 15-25 kt winds, where we slept under the gaze of the lighthouse. Unfortunately there is enough small boat traffic in the early morning hours to set up some nasty side-to-side rolling that interrupted our sleep.
