Block Island RI - OLD Harbor

I can see where it has advantages in terms of both access to town and time if you're traveling further east. But I've always gone around the Great Salt Pond. Prolly won't change, since the YC has a mooring there, but I'm still curious what others think. I pulled in there only one time in my many visits to Block Island over the last 25 years. I was heading west and the weather and time situation convinced me to use the harbor. It was late in season and fairly uncrowded, and all in all there were no real issues, but having done it once I would not bother again. I suppose as a one-time adventure one could possibly justify the exercise. There is no convenient way ashore from the anchorage, and lying alongside or in a slip is both expensive and very non-private. The security situation is not too inspiring either. At night it's quite loud, and the hustle and bustle from the ferry gets old fast. Heaven forbid should one of these beasts be mis-handled (as happened for instance with the Staten Island ferry recently). -- Good luck and good sailing. s/v Kerry Deare of Barnegat http://kerrydeare.comcast.net |
