Fort Adams - To Protect the City Against the British and Spanish
Large Yachts

Front Gates to the Breakers
The Breakers, 138,000 Square Feet - The Summer Home of Cornelius Vanderbilt
The Newport Yacht Club having a Pig Roast - Gross
Mystic, Connecticut to Newport, Rhode Island - The storm is over Hurricane Danielle only brought wind and rain. We had a good ride to Newport with only rollers to contend with. We caught a mooring ball in the downtown area and in the afternoon went to town and spent the afternoon checking things out. This really is a boaters paradise I thought Fort Lauderdale had big boats but nothing like Newport. Rae and Steve Mason from Barefoot Shoes from Kincardine, Ontario who we met last year in Chicago visited with us and we did a driving tour of the mansions, quite impressive. Danny and I later went to the mansion called the Breakers, summer home of Cornelius Vanderbilt, hard to believe the money some people had.
