A short voyage to Wickford, RI

Wickford at sun rise and Aisling among the dinghies.

Lyn, Caty and I had a short 1.5 hour trip to lovely Wickford Harbor and Wickford Cove Marina on a very hot afternoon. This is a town we have visited many times, but had never seen from the water. Wickford harbor has a long line of pilings used as mooring for sailboats. I had often wondered how the tie up’s worked and now could see it first hand. I still wonder why all the boats using these moorings are of the sail variety???

We were aware of the Wickford Art’s festival in town which the ladies visited while I got cozy on the flybridge for a nap. Upon their return, they described the enormity of the event and the quality of the artwork being offered. It really sunk in when I went for a walk in town on Sunday morning and could see 10’x10′ tents lining both sides on the main street end to end.
