We moved off the ferry / fuel dock around 10:45. Bill and I dropped off our laundry and then finished filling the tanks, etc. We then decided to take a walk and explore.

We walked about 30 minutes into town (which is very small, really just one main drag with ten or fifteen stores). We found a place to rent scooters and off we went. Since it was lunch time, we drove around for a bit and then stopped at a restaurant on the water.

All morning we watched the thunderstorm clouds but each time they missed us. We knew that there was bad weather around Block Island from listening to the marine forecast. As we were eating, the sky got progressively darker. Bill got calls from both Dave and Tommy (it is nice to know there are people looking out for us!) saying the skies were about to open up. So... we got our check and high tailed it back to the marina. Watching the storm roll in was absolutely amazing. The skies were stunning, the lightning beautiful, the thunder LOUD. The wind wasn't so bad (30 kts max), but it poured!! And it hasn't stopped. We basically stayed in on the boat for the rest of the day watching movies and hanging out. Hopefully tomorrow the sun will come out again. We have the scooter until the afternoon. Here are some pictures of the storm.
