We have mooring reservations at Dodson's Marina Tuesday night. We will have dinner ashore, probably at Skipper's Dock, with good food, and a lovely view of the har bor. Wednesday morning, the flood begins at the Race about 0900. We want to be out through Watch Hill passage before then, just to avoid slogging out against a very strong current in Watch Hill Passage. The plan is to sail to Dutch Island Harbor, in West Passage, just below the Jamestown bridge, on the west side of Conanicut Island.
Current plan is to anchor there for the night.
There is a facility at the south end of the harbor, which may have moorings and launch service, should someone wish to go ashore in style. This trip will take most of the day, depending on wind and weather. A possible PLAN B alternate will be Pt. The approach of a hurricane up the Atlantic coast will cause us to reconsider an easterly move at all. Thursday, August 9, after a leisurely breakfast aboard, we will sail an incredibly competitive race in Narragansett Bay, winding up the day, whenever we may choose, at East Greenwich, R.I., on the west side of the bay, north of Quonset Point.
