Points East as a sociology text Here is payment for what seems to be a fine magazine. Thank you (publisher) Joe Burke for returning a call to my home. I am looking forward to seeing what makes boating such a treasured way of life. We have just started out this year as part of this extended
MYSTERY
community of real enthusiasts, obviously, as seen in this publication. Again, thank you Joe, for your call. I look forward to seeing those nice features of stories and experiences in this publication. Bill Starr Cheshire, Conn.
HARBOR/and
the winner is...
We were liveaboards at December’s harbor This harbor (cove, actually) is in Oakland Beach, Warwick Cove, Warwick, R.I., in front of Timmy’s One Bay. Me and my girlfriend would eat at Timmy’s because we were liveaboards at Warwick Cove Marina. And the food and drinks were awesome. Angela and I lived in Warwick Cove for a year and a half aboard my sailboat, a 30 foot O’Day named Jesse’s Girl. We loved eating at Timmy’s One Bay Restaurant, which offers transient dockage for dining, and Iggy’s was also a favorite for clam cakes and chowder right on the beach. Centrally located, it was an easy cruise or sail to many popular locations: East Greenwich Harbor, Prudence and Patience islands, and Bristol Harbor. On many occasions we would anchor off Oakland Beach to watch spectacular fireworks over the summer. In the coldest winter months, the Quahoggers would keep the cove free of solid ice with their skiffs. The liveaboard community is a unique group of people who really look out for each other and maintain a safer environment for the marina in the nonboating months of the year. Jesse and I were able to help prevent several boats stored in the water for the winter from sinking. We have made friends at Warwick Cove that will be friends forever. We currently live on our 36-foot Pacemaker, Outlaw, in Stillhouse Cove, Cranston R.I. This will be our second winter on the Outlaw. We are one of four families living here year-round. We truly love this lifestyle, and cannot imagine being land dwellers ever again! Angela and Jesse James m/v Outlaw Cranston, R.I.
Harbor Light Marina. I haven’t been there for years, but it still looks the same. Willard Robinson. New Castle N.H.
Haven’t been there in years
Bend in “harbor” was diagnostic
Looks like Warwick Cove, the view being that of 10 Points East Midwinter 2009
Took the mystery out of harbor Well, you certainly took the mystery out of Warwick harbor in Rhode Island. Thoroughly enjoy Points East, the saltiest publication around. Keep up the good work. I’d like to see a follow up on the case with Linda Greenlaw. I thought she was smarter than that. Is the catch so bad that she felt she had to cross the border? Bill English Hingham, Mass.
Maybe I’ll stop there next time Your mystery harbor is Warwick R.I. I’ve never stopped there for some strange reason; when I’m in Narragansett Bay, I always seem to bypass Warwick for places like Bristol, or Potters Cove on Prudence Island, or Jamestown. Maybe next trip I’ll stop in there. Mike Pothier s/v Dragonfly Eliot, Maine
Just a great hint, that’s all The Mystery Harbor is Warwick, R.I. I’d like to tell you that I recognized it only by my friend Mike’s boat in the first picture (burgundy top) and Charlie the clammer’s boat in the second picture. Warwick is a great place to boat with super-clean, warm water and plenty of amenities nearby. But the truth is it was a great hint. Anyway, this is the second harbor I’ve identified. Keep up the great work. Dana Shorey Salem, Mass.
I think it is Warwick Cove in Warwick, R.I. I recogeditor@pointseast.com
