Louis Stewart and I travelled by ferry to Block Island (he had never been) and we had a great tour. We paid Vin McAloon for an hour's tour of the island, and he gave us more than two. Tons of tourists, not much up-scale in the shops (disappointing), but a spectacularly beautiful day.
The trip to Pratt's Farm was on another beautiful, but very hot day.
