At the left, a rugged, rocky hillside, studded with pine trees, slopes downtoward an inlet that opens out to the ocean in right distance. A small gaff-rigged boat sails near a rocky outcropping in the center, middle-ground. Drawing by William Trost Richards, 1877

80 Years of Memories

Narragansett Bay is a very special place for me. For more than 80 years, I have delighted in summer days there, staying at the waterfront family cottage in Jamestown. Swimming in the bay was (and is) my favorite activity there. Once I even swam in the bay from Dutch Island to our beach, a distance of about a mile.
