Cuttyhunk Island, Massachusetts Sunday morning dawns bright and clear. We pull anchor from Block Island and head east and north to Cuttyhunk Island with our "buddy boat", Worknot. Cuttyhunk is part of the Elizabeth Islands, a small island chain that extends from the southwest corner of Cape Cod separating Buzzards Bay from Vineyard Sound.

The Port Washington launch picks us up at our boat. ...and drops us off at one of the town docks. Mary and Gale’s Yorkie, Keela, loves riding the launch or dingy, and showing us the sights and best dog walk parks. Karl's new buddy! Nice pond in Port Washington with geese and turtles side-by-side.  The weekend brings other boats into the harbor including one that seems to have snared a large blue swan...
