I left the office in a rush Thursday evening with the hope of arriving before dark. With the traffic we barely made it as it was pretty dusky when I got out to the mooring in the work skiff. Our friend Eric at Pleasant Street <span class=\"blsp-spelling-corrected\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_2\">Wharf<\/span> told us we could put Pandora on the dock beginning on Thursday night until we leave to head out on Saturday afternoon. So, as soon as I was able to get out to Pandora, make way and get the fenders out, I moved her in to the dock. I was quick but it was dark by the time Brenda took the lines from me. <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_g1Em5-dORLY\/SmBezmkiQuI\/AAAAAAAAAQ0\/Mq7Z6dGE9tA\/s1600-h\/Wickford+weekend+July+17th+008.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359387797191017186\" style=\"FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_g1Em5-dORLY\/SmBezmkiQuI\/AAAAAAAAAQ0\/Mq7Z6dGE9tA\/s320\/Wickford+weekend+July+17th+008.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a>Good thing that Mother Nature cooperated as a thunder storm hit about one hour after we came along side the dock. Is it possible to make it through a day without rain this summer? It doesn&#8217;t seem so. While the boat was a bit warm after being shut up for the week, we had a glass of wine and enjoyed the quiet of the harbor. <\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>This place is really beautiful so here&#8217;s the view of Pandora and the harbor today. The sunrise was really spectacular. Sorry, I didn&#8217;t have the presence of mind to take some photos until after my shower and a cup of coffee.
