    A bad weekend of boating in Rhode Island.

    So Saturday and Sunday my girl and I cruised all over Rhode Island. Some large vessels in Newport sightseeing, a BOAT FIRE burn to the waterline and sink, and saw a dumby drop his boat at the ramp haha.
    reports say no one was hurt in the fire. Providence fire dept wouldn't respond, and North Kingstown's fire boat was unavailable and stayed at the dock. I'll get a pic of that fine vessel later this summer. Newport is waiting in federal funding to pay 75% of the million dollar vessel bill for a firefighting boat. I'm surprised with all the yachts and ships, they don't have one.
