Bob,
Fun is measured in many ways but most often when we get together, it is the people. Generally, Newport is lightly attended and by the hardy. I love it, myself and hoping to be there.
Your boat will show her age and design there. She is tender and will struggle in the seas at Fort Adams. But she will sail and it would be time with her and us. It would be good for us to meet you. Please try to come.
The Motel 6 at the north of town is where most will stay. We always have a gathering for dinner on Saturday night.
