Sakonnet Point, RI
I put in at the Sakonnet Point Public Fishing Ramp right on the road to the marina. After paddling out of the harbor, I followed the jetty toward the Sakonnet Point light. I rounded the lighthouse and headed between the point and the large rocks to the south. I followed the coast to the northeast, remaining outside the huge rocks which lie just offshore. After reaching Briggs Point, I made a beeline back toward Warren Point, then adjusted course for the outermost island south of Sakonnet Point. I had a glorious view of the rocky islands below the point as I passed outside them and fought the wind back toward the harbor. In total, I covered about 9 nautical miles.
