I don't know if you would know the answer to this, but I'm moving to Newport in August. Is it a fun place to be? — Asked by aworldthatswings

I think this summer in Newport will be one of the best in the last 20+ years. The America’s Cup is returning, if only for the World Series & the Newport Folk Festival has put together an insane lineup…or so I’ve heard (both are on Tumblr, follow them). If possible, show up in Newport a few months early to experience both of these legendary events. That said, autumn in Rhode Island is the best, so you’ll still be entertained. What will you be doing in Newport?

When we’re at home in Newport, RI, Mar Mostro is based at the Newport Shipyard.  This is just a sample of the NSY logo plastering PUMA’s shore base.

This is the Book that helped  inspire the Caillou. Frederick Fenger’s Alone in the Caribbean is the account of his Island hopping journey in a boat similar to the Caillou, which was a sailing canoe called the Yakaboo. 

It’d be cool to take one of these up/down the east coast.

Researchers probe 200-year-old shipwreck off Rhode Island.

A Navy research boat and staff from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts accompanied local divers Charlie Buffum and Craig Harger Tuesday to explore what they believe is the 201-year-old wreck of the Oliver Hazard Perry ship the Revenge, which the two men say they have discovered on Watch Hill Reef.
