Elaine and I cruised down to Wickford for the afternoon. It is less than a two hour cruise each way. We had not been there in a few years. Wickford is a small bay front village in North Kingstown RI. There are a few shops and restaurants in town and lots of 17th and 18th century architecture.
Very light winds and mostly flat seas on our trip.

We tied up at the Wickford Marina
http://www.wickfordmarina.com/ They have a $20 for four hours if there is dock space, and a great dock hand for help getting in. It is a 15 minute walk into town.

On our walk into town we discovered that it was the New England Quahog festival and Sea Creature Parade.
|
After lunch we walked down to the town beach for the festival and its activities, food trucks, beer garden, and races.
 |
| Stand up paddle board races |
After this exhausting Quahog day we walked back through town to the marina and cruised back home in calm seas.
