A welcome change it was during my sister and her family’s annual summer visit to the East Coast. One of our traditions is that of boarding a ferry to undertake a 30-mile, lighthouse sightseeing cruise on Narragansett Bay.
Cruising at speeds of 30 knots in between ten Rhode Island lighthouses, the ferry would slow down to a crawl for close-ups of each structure, and for views of mansions and yachts in Newport Harbor along the 95-minute narrated tour.
Although overcast, gusty, and blustery on the upper deck at the expense of catching the full narration, there’s nothing like experiencing what the ocean has to dish out.
In the capacity of a writer, I’m cruising at a slow crawl for drafting my Contemporary work in progress. Simultaneously conducting research and incorporating what I need in a storytelling fashion, I’ve finished drafting the prologue at 545 words. I’m in the process of composing Chapter 1 (218 words thus far).
*May each of us take time to enjoy any scenery which serves as a beacon for inspiration.My sincere appreciation to you for reading this far.
