        Yesterday saw a tremendous amount of activity. Final provisioning and prep was
        underway. John and Lynn Somma were with us to give Faith a hand with the final
        shopping and packing.  My brother Kenny and I arrived at about 5:00pm with the
        last stuff from home and our final purchases. We all loaded the boat and went out
        to dinner. Kenny was very upset about the state of  the boat with piles of stuff
        everywhere. He would have loved the last couple of days. He was ready to throw
        off  all our paper towels and toilet paper!. Faith prevailed however.
        
        Pete and Donna arrived after dinner to help prepare for our start in the morning.
        Donna left late. Pete was going to join us to Newport.
        
        We were up early and pushed off about 5:30am. We were back at the dock by
        7:00. The auto pilot did not work. Morgan who installed the unit was onboard by
        8:30 and we were on our way again by 9:00. It was a beautiful day for a trip
        through Long Island Sound. We called ahead to arrange dock space at Old
        Saybrook. Then the engine died. It took Pete and me a while to find we were out
        of fuel in the main tank. The solution was to transfer fuel from my new fuel tank.
        It went very slowly and it took all night to move fuel to the main tank.
        
        We docked after 9:00pm and ate onboard. We left early Friday for Newport.
