Back in the day my partner and I use to drive from No. RI to P-Town, fish the Back, drive home, sleep 2 or 3 hours and spend some time with the family. Then do it all over again that night.

A couple of times I fell asleep at the wheel and RJ was asleep in the passenger seat. The Cranberry Highway is very lonely at 5 AM on Sunday morning. We finally wised up and started stopping at the rest area right after Bass River. Catch an hour sleep and be good to go.

Don't try to be a hero. If you start nodding off. STOP and sleep a bit.

No boat, back in the suds.
