Eco Tours

If you are looking for an Eco Tour in Rhode Island try sailing on the bay for a few hours or even a few days.  Once under sail, sailboats do not burn any fuel and they provide a great way to enjoy nature while being “green” at the same time.

Since sailboats hardly make any sound you will be able to enjoy the birds singing, the fish jumping out of the water and the gentle sound of waves crashing against the hull.  The bay in Rhode Island contains a bunch of lighthouses and the best pictures of them are from the water!

Every Tuesday night from the spring until the fall the upper bay is active with sailboat races.  In the background a college racing team is conducting races while two local Yacht clubs are racing in the foreground.  On a good evening you can watch 30-50 boats racing!  If you want to get on one of the race boats check with some of the local yacht clubs boats are always looking for crew members.

On the weekends the bay is full of longer races that last for several hours or even all day.  This Columbus day weekend we are racing from Newport RI to Block Island RI, check back in a few days I will post some pictures.

As the sun sets over the bay the water becomes calm and the most of the boats retire to their docks or moorings.  If you travel to Rhode Island be sure to keep your eyes out for some nice sunsets!
