Postman’s Trail

Did a neat walk today – to Reingeadal. This used to be an isolated village of between 20 then 200 then 10 now 20 people – without road access. You got here by boat – or by the Postman’s Trail – a 4 mile hike (each way) from Tarbert – which the Postman did twice each week until the late 1980’s!

We did it today and got absolutely soaked! Not an easy walk – with steep ups and downs… Wouldn’t want to do it at Christmastime!

Half way along we go down - steeply

    A basket full of energy n fun you two. We slipped the lines a few days ago and are out at Block Island before the craziness begins….lovely n quiet on the water and shore. Block Isl Race Week just around the corner so the Pond will be a hub of activity. Brief layover in Essex for sailors gathering and then U turn to Maine. All well with Grayce, however when Jim pulled to start the dinghy engine yesterday, yup the cord broke. First repair…it’s a boat!
    Cheers… j2
