    Beautiful Autumn Sailing!

    Last weekend, we went sailing on Narragansett Bay for the last time this Fall. It was a gorgeous day, and we sailed around Gould Island, a small island in the Bay between Aquidneck Island (where we live in Rhode Island) and Jamestown Island. The water was really sparkly!

    Gould Island is surrounded by submarine docks, and was used during WW II as a munitions loading area.

    This is one of the old elevators:


    Then we sailed around and closer to Jamestown Island, so picturesque.

    This is sailing back towards Aquidneck Island - These buildings are part of the Naval Academy Prep school, hubby's office is in the center building.:

    The War College complex:


    And a view of the oldest building, now the museum:

    As we sailed back to the docks, we were greeted by the peanut gallery:

    What a nice afternoon! You can see a few more pictures (including a couple of us) HERE

    It looks absolutely fantastic, and what great weather for it.

    My husband is on a sailing course this weekend. He was there last weekend too, but the weather was better last weekend. Today is grey, damp and very windy - poor thing!

    Yes, we lived near Findlay. Hubby took this job & moved last October, but I didn't come out here till the end of May, right after the Findlay PT pic-nic. We like it here. JoJoe got certified for sailing this summer. We've gone out several times, I just haven't been good about posting pictures.

    We learn all sorts of New Stuff ...
    "NAPS" = Naval Academy Preparatory School = pre-entry school for the Marine Service Academies ...
    Is that where JoJoe Teaches math?

    Now to the BOAT!

    NEET-O! Where'd the Skipper go to Sailin School?
    How BIG (long) is the boat ... got sleeping bunks or a galley aboard?
    We need a pix of the whole boat!

    And - WHERE are the REST of the Crew?
    Don't the Furry Kids get to go sailing?

    Your on-the-water pix are great!!

    Aaawww- that makes me jealous. You still have such wonderful weather. Our little dinghy that sails on Ammersee is already in the winter dock for this year.
