Or 3:
During a massive storm, a brave cow lept from the cliff and swam out to a sinking fishing vessel. Said cow saved the lives of an entire longlining crew from certain peril by tying herself to the life raft and dragging them into what is now called cow cove. At low tide during the full moon, you can still see her hoofprints on the rocks...

First settlers landed and swam to shore bringing with them the island's first cows who where pushed off the boats and forced ashore.
I bet it was kind of fun pushing cows off a boat!

Yes! I thought this was interesting. I read about this in the new issue of edible rhody, there was a big RI dairy aricle. It said it was 1632 , when they first did this. |

Damn, there goes my answer...  |
"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
