| Sunrise as Horseshoe Point |
I’m on vacation in
Narragansett, and the owners of the cottage we are renting have a nautical map
of Point Judith Pond hanging on the wall.
It's there for decoration, but I immediately found a couple of places
that I would like to explore. The
first is Long Cove.
We had passed by the sign
for Long Cove Campground many times as we drove down Route 1, but I wasn’t sure
where it was. According to this map,
Long Cove opens to the north end of the Upper Point Judith Pond. A narrow strip of land separates it
from Champlin Cove not far from our cottage.

| Egret as Champlin Cove |
I paddled up the east side
of Point Judith Pond along Ram Island and into Champlin Cove. Unfortunately, a mucky marsh separates
Point Judith Pond from Long Cove.
I probably could have made it through, but decided that I didn’t want to
do get there that bad.
Instead, I decided to
explore the northwest corner of Point Judith Pond. Birds were out in abundance – egrets, herons, cormorants and
seagulls. I also found two osprey
nests – both with osprey in them.
