Biking Along the 'Shining Sea' in Woods Hole

Farewell, New England Sailing Season 2012
While some lucky New England sailors seem to be able to squeeze their sailing season until practically Thanksgiving, these days I find that youth soccer increasingly trumps sailing the further we get from Labor Day. And yet, though my autumn is hardly as sailing-filled as my August, in most years… SEE MORE
Chasing Autumn Leaves on North Haven Island
North Haven is an island of incredible beauty, a place where time slows and the hustle and bustle of the world seems oh-so far away. While beautiful to visit in the height of summer, when graceful sloops slide down the Fox Island Thorofare and elegant yachts anchor in Pulpit Harbor,… SEE MORE
Leaf Peeping on the Maine Coast, Megayacht-style
Foliage season brings millions of people to Maine each year, as the Pine Tree State's autumn colors are considered some of the best in the country. Plenty of those visitors arrive by boat, but most do not attract quite as much attention as the Rising Sun, a 453-foot megayacht that… SEE MORE
Up, Down — A Wild Week of Fishing at the RI Shore
The past week has been a wild one, with some days seeing blitzes and others where I've been lucky to land a handful of fish. Tuesday, for example, was a humbling day. I saw tons of fish breaking, mostly stripers feeding on big schools of bay anchovies that were about… SEE MORE

A New Coastal Adventure: SUP for a Day
I have a confession to make: I've been a SUP snob. For the past couple of years, I've watched more and more people paddling around my favorite harbors while standing up straight on a surfboard. I'll admit that I've looked somewhat askance at these vertically-inclined paddlers. First, while Stand-Up Paddleboards… SEE MORE
A Hot Plug for Landing Keeper Striped Bass
The hottest plug recently for stripers for us has been the Daiwa Salt Pro Minnow. This is the same plug that I wrote about back in June as being red hot at the Cape Cod Canal. I've never seen anyone using it in Rhode Island waters. But, my son, Ben,… SEE MORE
