Narragansett Bay is studded with more than a dozen remarkable lighthouses. Beavertail on Conanicut Island, at the site of the 3rd oldest lighthouse on the east coast, has a lighthouse museum and caretaker in residence. Rose Island Light has been restored and is operated as a B&B and museum and is reachable only by boat. Castle Hill pictured on the Home Page (see link below) clings to the rocks adjacent to the Inn at Castle Hill where fine dining is enhanced by close up views of yachts leaving and entering the Bay. The Ida Lewis Yacht Club in Newport Harbor occupies the old Limerock Lighthouse. We enjoy the lure and individuality of lighthouses and weather permitting will be glad to plan a cruise for you to these or others along the east coast. Spring and Fall we are in Long Island Sound and Chesapeake Bay which beckon with numerous distinctive lighthouses and lighthouse museums reachable by boat. Pictured here is one of the most photogenic lighthouses in the Chesapeake: THOMAS POINT Lighthouse just south of Annapolis.
From MAI LING: THOMAS POINT LIGHTHOUSE in the Chesapeake just south of Annapolis.
Florida has fewer lighthouses but with fantastic locations for a winter vacation: Loggerhead Key and Fort Jefferson at Dry Tortugas, Key West, Sanibel Island and Boca Grande. Lighthouse photos are posted on the Cruising Circuits page soon to be renamed Sail to Lighthouses. To identify the lighthouse, place the cursor on the picture. As we travel my plan is to photograph and post as many lighthouses as possible. Call for more information about planning one of our special trips for Lighthouse aficionados.

PLEASE leave your telephone numbers and convenient times to call. Our preference is to speak with you on the phone to arrange the details of your cruise. With our new telephone I am now able to get email on the boat. However Juno does not always respond so calling our cell phone number above is the quickest way to contact us.
Also, please remember we are cruising sailors. We may be on the move and we anchor out a lot by preference often in remote areas. There may be a delay before you receive an initial response from us. AT&T Wireless is wonderful but not without a few bugs. Please call back if you do not hear from us in a day or two.
Thank you for your interest in our adventures. Updated 19 June 2001.
