Jamestown, RI

Our time was up in Newport, so the following morning we slowly sailed around the north side of Conanicut Island and then made our way back down to Dutch Harbor. From our anchorage the town of Jamestown is a short, pleasant walk.


Rather expensive condos overlooking the harbor in Jamestown.

We spent a couple of days walking through the beautiful neighborhoods. The town boasts a grocery store, Laundromat, hardware store and a good marine store.

We hiked to a cove where we saw many fisherman/women and a good shot of our potential future home. There's something like a 100 year warranty on the roof.

One morning we woke up to find the S/V Sojourner anchored right behind us. We met Rick and Linda last fall while we were in St. Marys, Georgia. In a prior life, Rick was a police officer in Mesquite, Texas--where Lisa and I bought our first house.

Later that morning Rick and Linda introduced us to Paul and Claire who were also anchored nearby on their Island Packet 445. After their laundry was done, we joined them for lunch.


Lisa's arm, Claire, Rick, me, Paul and Linda. It was good to see Rick and Linda again, and to meet Paul and Claire for the first time.
