Summer sailing in Newport

I am adding to this over the next day or so - be patient as there is lots more stuff to come.


It's hard to beat Newport in the summer for action on the water.There was just so much to see and do it was almost to much. Certainly you missed a lot of the action if you were land locked unless you were at Fort Adams on June 2nd. So we are there for a little windsurf session and what happens to reach right by but the Volvo Open 70 Puma fresh up from a shakedown cruise from Miami

Here we are in our dry suits
