Dark 'n' Stormy
An impressive cocktail that is visually reminiscent of a storm over the ocean, showing the joy and danger that are inseparable at sea.
60 ml dark rum
90 ml ginger beer
15 ml lime juice
Put ice in a tall glass (highball) and pour over the ginger beer. Add lime juice, and then slowly pour in the dark rum so that it remains on the surface. Decorate with a slice of lime. It can also be made the opposite way round, pouring the ginger beer in at the end.

Chanterelle Newport
The menu changes frequently, though expect a focus on luxe French connections. Think: escargot with brown butter sauce, duck breast with a zippy sauce of lingonberry and green peppercorn, and sole with a classic beurre blanc sauce brightened by chives.

The Sailing Museum
Six themed experiences in seven iconic sailing classes allow veteran seafarers to revisit the steppingstones of their sport; encourage initiates with growing skills to explore new classes of watercraft; and, sweetest of all, give individuals yet to hoist a sail a taste of the exhilaration they will feel when they connect with wind and water. Every exhibit provides hands-on physical and mental entertainment, designed to hone leadership, develop teamwork, and teach the art of decision-making that breeds success.
The Museum is also the address of legends, a place to learn the inspiring stories of men and women elected to the National Sailing Hall of Fame whose championships and adventures shaped the sport. It also pays tribute to members of The America’s Cup Hall of Fame, those rare sailors with levels of expertise so outstanding that they distinguished themselves at the pinnacle of sailing.
