Newport

The picture is taken from the stern of NH. Leaving Watch Hill in the background is the narrow passage into the channel marked by the green can at Sandy Point. The depth gauge read 1.8 ft at one point. Look forward to returning and exploring the Pawcatuck River . 
It’s a perfect day to cruise the 40 miles to Newport at an average of 10 knots which will take us a little over three hours.
Here is a picture of Taylor Swifts house which as you can see is perched high on top of the cliff and well protected. 
The  property beside her is the Ocean House Inn.

Watch Hill Lighthouse which we were able to walk up to yesterday but not permitted to enter. A beautiful calm passage finds us in Newport by lunchtime. A quick trip to the Newport Yacht Club dock to wash the boat down to get rid of the salt then  back on our mooring for lunch. Tomorrow Saturday we will bring the boat back in to stay at the NYC where we will entertain Aideen Chris and the boys Cillian and Liam.
