Three Hours on the Sound 2

Here was the previous post.

It was all highlights while taking two ferries to get from Long Island to my destination, but here are some photos.  I left Orient Point along with small fishing boats like Fishy Business, 1995 built.

North Star, built in 1968 as an offshore supply vessel, was purchased by Cross Sound Ferry in 1984 and converted to an auto/passenger ferry.

 

As North Star arrived, the 2007 Plum Island left Orient for its namesake island.

Hudson River-bound Grande Caribe (1997) cut across the Sound with its unique profile.

Eventually the destination appears . . . the cliffs off the north side of Block Island.

 

The unmistakeable Viking (1976) passes as we round the island toward New Shoreham.

Interstate Navigation’s Block Island (1997) welcomes us into the old port.
