This past weekend was our maiden ocean voyage. We put he boat in East Greenwich, RI and traveled around the many islands down to Newport Harbor. It is as deep as 130 feet in this area.

This is a photo of main st in Jamestown, RI. an island near Newport.

Great pictures, especially the one of your boat tied to the pier :lol:

Looks like you had a nice calm day. Is the area protected where the waves don't pick up?

lol, ya that boat was registered in the Cayman Islands.

Yes the area is protected. We probably cruised 20 miles each way but you are constantly surrounded by islands and the main land. At most the waves were 3 feet but for the most part 1-2 feet. The yatchs and their wakes give you the most trouble.

I had to fly into Providence a couple of times on business, and remember flying over areas like that. It sure looks like a beautiful place to boat.

We love going to the Newport area. We're going to try to get the boat down there this year (trailer down to the bay area and explore from there).

Looks like you had a great day.
