On Monday when we sailed into Newport Harbor there were many beautiful sights to see. This is a typical light structure that was seen at the inlet into Narragansett Bay.

There was plenty of activity around Newport Harbor. A cruise ship was at anchor around Goat Island. You can see several motor boats and sail boats crossing back and forth in the bay.

This is one of several three masted schooners at anchor in the harbor. This one is decked out in flags and if you look closely you can see three people on the third yardarm on the forward mast.

We think this is the "old"Navy War College along the banks of Narragansett Bay not far from Newport. Talking about the Navy. On Saturday we had the marine radio on channel 16 and heard the Captain of a Navy Submarine which was headed into New London, Conn. to keep a secure distance from the sub as he entered the port. The Coast Guard was also alerting the boaters in the area to give a wide clearance. We have not seen any subs on this trip but in the past when sailing along the coast of Conn., near New London we have seen a sub. It is quite thrilling to sail past their tall conning tower-Yea Navy!!!

Two aircraft carriers at port next to the Naval College.
