This past Friday (18 June), I was out on my motor boat in Newport and noticed a large number of enormous yachts circling around in the mouth of the harbor. Getting closer to them, I realized exactly what this was - the start of the Newport to Bermuda race. The sailing vessels were being prepared by their crews for a long race ahead of them. This race is something that happens every year. There is usually a large turnout, just like there was on Friday, and it is something worth seeing.
Not only were there hundreds of boats in the water, but there were also several helicopters above taking photos of the start of the race. If you have not been in the past, I strongly recommend taking a look next year. The boats that you will see here are some of the nicest / most prestige in the world.
