| Heading out into the fog |
I woke up this morning to pea soup fog and a slight breeze, but that didn’t stop me from my traditional “first-day-of-vacation” trip around Great Island in Point Judith Pond.
Point Judith Pond is the second largest of Rhode Island’s South County salt ponds. Separated in the south behind sand dunes and barrier beaches, Point Judith Pond is connected to the ocean through the Breachway at Galilee.

Great Island is one of three large islands on the pond - the other two are Harbor Island and Ram Island. I put-in at our cottage and headed south into the fog past Frank's Neck, into Bluff Hill Cove, and under the Great Island Bridge into Galilee.
The fishing village of Galilee was developed in 1935 when the State of Rhode Island dredged out a harbor suitable for commercial fishing vessels. I paddled down to the last green buoy before the Breachway that connects Galilee to the Harbor of Refuge. From there, I headed back up the west side to the island to the cottage.
