There are a fair # of cruisng guides out there, Boat/US and West Marine
carry these items, should be available in your local stores, if you're
serious about cruisng in your area a purchase of one would be a good
investment.

Re. a mini-cruiser single-handing sailing to/fm City Isld & Block
Island in mid-Sept. who wants reasonably long days traveling on the
water but would prefer a marina slip or at least a moorting rather
than anchoring, what's the "best" routes to/from in terms of
sights/accomodations?

If it becomes feasible to expand the trip to/fm Block Island, where's
the "best" place to go before returning to City Isld?

Typo Nazi!

It wasn't a typo, you've done it in two separate posts.

Lying, top posting, *******.

Yes it was a typo... you goose stepping Gestapo!

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.

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.

scruddy dood, I personally know a guy with a 19 foot day sailor who has gone CI
to BI and back perhaps as many as a dozen times. I am not sure he remembers
how many times. Ain't no big thing, except to a bathtub sailor.

Bwahahahahahahahahaaaa!!!
