Some mooring fields have a robust launch service (Scituate and Salem
come to mind), most others you're on your own. However, we've managed
to hold out and get by with a rowing dinghy, rather than deal with an
outboard.

What do you do at Menemsha, leave the dinghy on the beach outside the harbor
entrance?

We haven't gone ashore at Menemsha in a while but you can tie up at the
marina there, assuming you can handle the current. Outside, you could
leave the dink NE of the jetty, but probably not on the public beach
right there. They run two moorings inside, and about a dozen outside,
first come, first serve. I was inside several time years ago, but only
used an outside mooring for a easy layover in recent years. Outside is
not highly recomended - its rather rolly for most boats.

We normally stay in Vineyard Haven, which has become our "home away from
home" and take a bus to Menemsha.
