Well, we broke the interstate barrier again. We passed out of
Massachusetts waters and entered Rhode Island. Well, not so much
entered as sail by. Rhode Island is the smallest state in America.
It's so small you could drive across it in an hour. The complete name
is "State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantation". Pretty long name
for a little state!
We only took one picture of Rhode Island as we went by. If you look
close you can see a bridge in the picture. We anchored in Point
Judith in a 'harbor of refuge'. This is a harbor built by the
government where none existed before. They do that sometimes when
there is too much distance between good natural harbors. It gives
passing ships a place to hide if there is bad weather. We didn't have
bad weather but we stayed there anyway.
Tonight we are in Saybrook Connecticut. Tomorrow we will go to New
Haven. Then we cross to Long Island, breaking the interstate barrier
again! Then, the Big Apple, New York City.
Well, kids. Have fun looking at the map to find Rhode Island. Stay
strong and remember, the teacher is always right. At least as far as
you are concerned.
