Hi Folks, No sooner that this newbie gets back from the 120 mile rOnDAYvous trip that I have another opportunity to possibly sail out to Block Island.
My family is renting a house in RI (Narragansett or Charleston). I was thinking of trailering my 222 out to RI then launching from RI to the Block.
I am a little familiar with Block Island and was thinking of anchoring in the "Great Salt Pond". Or even getting a slip for a few days if possible. I'd like to take a week off in August to do this.
Questions:
1) best place to launch in RI? I know a few places but not all too familiar on whats needed or if we can launch a sailboat with mast.
2) Any insight to any anchorage in Block Island?
3) Any insight to any marinas to rent out a slip for a few days?
4) Any Misc. advice for this newbie? Am I crazy for doing this???
