| Put-in at the URI Bay Campus |
The sea kayakers seem to run
a lot of trips from the URI Bay Campus, so I decided to check it out.
The Bay Campus is at the site of the old South Ferry Village. In the eighteenth century, this was a small port involved the trade of local marine and agricultural products. By the nineteenth century, it had grown to be a thriving village. All that remains of the old South Ferry Village today is the stone remnants of the old pier.

I put in around sunrise and
paddled north toward the Jamestown
Verrazzano Bridge. Across the West
Passage, I could see the Dutch Island and Beavertail Lights, and the Newport Bridge. My original objective was to get a
picture of the Plum Beach Light, but I wimped out when I saw how far out in
the channel it was.
