bill you ain't never seen any part of LIS. *if* had seen anything, you would
not make the posts you do, even if you were as drunk as moron.

Nothing to contribute? Well for starters, I can point out to those who
haven't
realized it yet, that you are a jackass with no actual practical experience
in
any field other than bull****ting.

During the spring, summer, and fall, I spend a fair amount of time cruising
all
over the LIS and surrounding areas. Rides on the ferry don't count, so that
leaves you completely out.

If it becomes feasible to expand the trip to/fm Block Island, where's

How about a more concrete description of the boat, and what you mean by a
long
day's sail.

How much sailing have you done?

Are we talking about a 15-20 footer that can't make any headway to
windward
if
the seas are more than 2 feet, and averages less than 4 knots in ideal
conditions?

How much time do you have?

Can you motor against a 5 knot current if necessary?

There are certainly cruises you can take with a small boat, but it would be
planned a lot differently than what you might do with a larger boat.
