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


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.
