Tiverton, RI 25 June 2007

We pulled up anchor at 8:30 a.m leaving the "salt pond" on Block Island and headed out to the Atlantic Ocean to follow the coast along Connecticut and Rhode Island. The anchor came out clean and there was not too much traffic heading out of the inlet. We passed many sail boats, fishing party boats, ferries and freighters along the coast. The sun was out, the skies blue and the wind was light. Destination was Pirate Cove Marina in the Sakonnet River near the town of Tiverton. We expect to be here for a few days for repairs of our marine refrigerator. It keeps cold using shore power but not when we use the engine.

We passed along this pretty sail boat as it glided past our portside. You can see the coastline as we passed this boat.

Another sail boat just passing ahead of our bow. We were heading along the coast to Naragansett Bay and then north past Newport, Rhode Island to the Sakonnet River.

Point Judith Light House and Coast Guard Station.

One of the many Newport Mansions along the coast.
