Skip Gloucester and come to Manchester.? Either get a free mooring from our club or tie up at the town float with a grocery store, hardware store, pizza shop, and restaurants within a block or so.

In my area I think these are some of the best for time spent in and out and interesting?places coming from Long Island Sound or Block Island?

?

Newport - good spot, grab a mooring (Old Port 68) good option if you were spending a few days?

Cuttyhunk - I think could be the best bet for time, sort the canal tide and you can make Sandwich Marina the next day

Sandwich Marina - quick easy in and out, low cost dock, fule, great restaurant?called Fisherman's view?

to?

Situate? - it's easy in and out and a nice spot just about the right distance from Sandwich for a day and then up Gloucester?

Chris,

On Long Island Sound, a stop at Mystic Seaport Museum is a unique experience as you are docked inside the museum and have free run of the grounds after closing. The facilities are also nice with free laundry and nice showers. Restaurants are a short walk into town. Overall it is like being in a town some 200 hundred years ago.

Also high on the list was the Safe Harbor Rockland moorings. They don’t have a launch service, so a dinghy is necessary. Free laundry, a good restaurant on the grounds, two courtesy cars, and a spa quality bathrooms with towels and toiletries provided. First Class.

We also enjoyed a stay at the Hinckley mooring field in Southwest Harbor on MDI.?

Enjoy the trip!

Hello all.?

Just wanted to introduce myself. I am the new proud owner of a Sabre 36, Providence 2 in Forked River NJ. Purchased in Nov 2024.?

I live in Canada where I absolutely fell in Love with the lines of a Sabre 34 in my local marina. Thanks David?Gerhardt.?

I will be provisioning and boarding the boat next week and pointing it North through Long Island Sound along New England to New Brunswick.?

If you have any suggestions for great moorings or places to stop along the way or if you see me on AIS please reach out and say hello.?

I have found this forum very interesting and helpful over the last few months, it has been a great diversion while going through a pretty tough Winter personally.?

All the best.
