Transit Sail from Providence to
Newport, RI
We set sail from India Point
Park in a light S'ly wind and therefore used the
engine to make the first part of our transit.
By the time we came abrest of
Prudence Island and because of the boost we
received from fair tide, we shut the engine and
sailed on out the Narragansett, tacking
gracefully under the Newport Bridge and rounding
up into Newport Harbor where we docked alongside
the schooner Coronet.
Once alongside in Newport,
participants toured the International Yacht
Restoration School and got a special tour of the
1885 schooner yacht Coronet.
Thanks go out to john Summers,
Curator of the schooner Coronet project,
for his efforts as field session manager and to
IYRS for hosting the Ernestina during her stay in
Newport.
