Allins Cove Sunset




Allins Cove Sunset

Took this while walking the dog last night. This is from the foot of Third Street in Barrington. The boat is heading into the Bullock’s Cove channel.

What a gorgeous evening — I love where I live!

I had posted previously about my new mainsheet system, but the boat was still in my yard at that time. I couldn’t post a photo of the completed project until Dragonfly was launched and had the mast and boom installed.

Well, better late than never, I guess. I took this picture today. I have been very pleased with the result. It makes me realize how HORRIBLE it was to have no way to cleat the mainsheet with the old system.

Nice sail today. Coudy with rain threatening all a round, but never arriving. Wind was out of the northeast and blowing 4 to 10 knots. I went up the Providence River to a point just short of Bullock’s Point, then back to the mooring.
