Moved to downtown Newport

We left the dock at NEB by 9:30AM and travelled a quick 8 miles to downtown Newport. After circling the inner harbor to look at all the boats great and small we went around Goat Island towards the Newport Bridge and picked up a mooring ball. Our friends, the Gleeson's, are gone for a month and graciously allowed us to tie up as a guest. We can stay for a week. We are close to downtown Newport without having the busy traffic and noise. It is also close to Sarah's house where we stored our car. If you check on the Kinvara map we have marked her location. It could be worse. We are looking at the Newport bridge and can watch the outer harbor. Right now there is a north wind from squalls and the fetch is creating lots of movement but it actually is refreshing to move again after being so sheltered at the dock.

Hello,
glad to see you are back on wet land. My wife and I love Newport, we go twice a year, August and Dec/Jan.
I will be in Block Island on Saturday where I met the both of you, you see... that gift shop, Lazy Fish, ordered 15 more canvases. So I will deliver them this weekend.
Be well, safe sailing!
