if you're thinking of reasonable distance in a day sail, port jeff on the
long island side is a reasonable half way point.
if port jeff is not doable , try northport.
both have good accomodations.

buy a crusing guide for long island sound

if you went on from block island, you could try cutty hunk.

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?
