| Julie takes an early morning spin |
Julie woke up early, and asked to take my canoe out for a spin – how could I say no. As a result, I stayed close to the cottage, and paddled around the islands in Point Judith Pond.
Point Judith Pond has three large islands – Great Island, Harbor Island and Ram Island. Great Island and Harbor Island (Foddering Place) have been developed and are full of summer houses and cottages. Ram Island has not.

According to the Rhode Island Historical Society, Harbor Island and Ram Island were once owned by the Hazard family of Peace Dale, and were eventually put into trust. No one seems to know why Ram Island remains undeveloped, but I am glad that it is.
There are two other named islands – Jonathan Island and Plato Island, and a couple of unnamed island – including one that was an old gun emplacement.
