  • Prudence Island Narragansett Bay Research Reserve
    Last Updated 1/20/07 Prudence Island Narragansett Bay Research Reserve Background Prudence Island is located in the geographic center of Narragansett Bay. The island is approximately 7 miles long and 1 mile across at its widest point. Located at the south end of the island is the Narragansett Bay Research Reserve’s Lab & Learning Center. The Center contains educational exhibits, a public meeting area, library, and research labs for staff and visiting scientists. The Reserve manages approximately 60% of Prudence; the largest components are at the north and south ends of Prudence Island. The vegetation on Prudence reflects the extensive farming that took place in the area until the early 1900s. After the fields were abandoned, woody plants gradually replaced the herbaceous species. The uplands are now covered with a dense shrub growth of bayberry, blueberry, arrowwood, and shadbush interspersed with red cedar, red maple, black cherry, pitch pine and oak. Green briar and Asiatic bittersweet cover much of the island as well. Prudence Island also supports one of the most dense white-tailed deer herds in New England . Raccoons, squirrels, Eastern red fox, Eastern cottontail rabbits, mink, and white-footed mice are plentiful. The large, salt marshes at the north end of Prudence are used as feeding areas by a number of large wading birds such as great and little blue herons, snowy and great egrets, black-crowned night herons, green-backed herons and glossy ibis. Between September and May, Prudence Island is also used as a haul-out site for harbor seals. History of Prudence Island Before colonial times, Prudence and the surrounding islands were under the control of the Narragansett Native Americans.

  • Patience Island Narragansett Bay Research Reserve
    Last Updated 1/20/07 Patience Island Narragansett Bay Research Reserve Background This 207-acre island lies to the west of northern Prudence Island. At their closest, the two islands are only 900 feet apart. The Patience Island is dominated by tall shrubs interspersed with red cedar and black cherry. Common shrubs include bayberry, highbush blueberry, and shadbush. Much of the island is also covered by brier, Asiatic bittersweet and poison ivy. A deciduous forest is gradually replacing the shrub habitat in some parts of the island. The small salt marsh on the southeastern shore provides habitat for seablite, a plant species common in other areas of the country, but rare in Rhode Island. The upland area of Patience Island supports a variety of wildlife including white-tailed deer, red fox, and Eastern cottontail rabbits. Coastal areas are used extensively by migrant and wintering waterfowl species such as horned grebes, greater scaup, black ducks and scoters. Quahogs are abundant in the sandy sediment. There is no ferry service available to this island. Visitors are welcome but you must provide your own transportation. Be aware that there is a high population of ticks, the trails may be overgrown, and camping is not permitted. History of Patience Island Historically, the Patience Island Farm covered an area of approximately 200 acres, nearly the entire island, and was a working farm as early as the mid-seventeenth century. The farm buildings were burned by the British during the Revolutionary War. After the war, the buildings were rebuilt and the farm remained in operation until the early twentieth century.

  • Quahog Cup 2021 SOL Race 1451 the Race Was a 35 Mile Sprint in Narragansett Bay, Starting at 15:00 UT on Saturday, March 20Th Starting and Finishing in Newport Harbor
    Quahog Cup 2021 SOL race 1451 The race was a 35 mile sprint in Narragansett Bay, starting at 15:00 UT on Saturday, March 20th starting and finishing in Newport Harbor. The course is shown on a NOAA chart on the next page. My track is missing from the initial part. I had planned the first, downwind part of the course up to the Rumstick Rock mark based on the 10:30 forecast. The wind was light, around 9 knots from the South West, initially a little weaker and increasing towards the end. The first leg was obviously a straight broad reach from the start to the first mark Rose Island. As the name suggests, it is actually an island, although that does not show up even on the high resolution SOL map. Below is a picture of it looking eastwards towards Newport. The three conspicuous masts behind the Island belong to the Maltese Falcon. The picture was taken in 2011 during my second visit to Newport. From there it was a run northward. I had noticed that there was a slight wind speed gradient with more speed on the Rhode Island side in the East and a little less on the Connanicut Island side to the West. With the help of the AGL tool I found out that it was possible to closely follow the Rhode Is- land shore and pass East of Coasters Harbor Island without taking a lager risk. It was not necessary to gybe immediately at the Rose Island mark nor in close proximity to the coast, and without deviat- ing a lot from the downwind target angles.
