Fort Adams
I took the day off and went to Newport with the wife. We like to drive out in front of Fort Adams I was concerned with what I saw. All the cement around the Nav tower has been ripped out and is now steeply sloped sand. In essence the powers that be have removed all the parking spaces for the pier fisher men. I think this is bull%$%$%$%$ another slap in the face for anyone whom wants to fish on the island. 30 years ago my brother Mike and I would strap our surf rods onto a couple vespa motor scooters. We could fish anywhere we wanted to Ocean Drive, Castle Hill, Fort Adams, Any of the beaches. We could fish in Portsmouth along the Sakonet. My Dad called us the water rats and we were. Avoer the years I have seen such bull%$%$%$%$ as parking stickers, wire fences, rich %$%$%$%$%$%$%$s, no parking signs, bad dogs anything to keep you and I off the beach or the pier. What a load of crap. Newport has gone from a cool fishing/sailing place to the beer and t-shirt %$%$%$%$hole. You can't even see or access the water form 80 percent of the harbor, I really don't know why the tourists keep comming every summer, bunch of friggin lemmings.
I am going to rejoin RISSA and give them a donation for their PAC just for old time sakes. God Help Us All.
