We're doing an overnight soon and have booked a mooring at a
marina in R.I. called .... Conanicud Marine ....Jamestown.
Anybody have any info on the place, restaurants etc. ??

Greg,
Rhode Is has a free pocket book called the "PORT Book" that lists
all kinds of restaurants and facilities. You could probably have
them send you one. I would try the Providence Telephone book under
state government. I have the book at home if you are in the Mill
I could bring it in for you....

Greg, there are a bunch of little restaraunts up the street from
Conanicut marine. Launch service is a bit unreliable, so bring
a dink if possible. Jamestown is not a roaring place but very
pleasant.

Connanicut Marina is a little pricy during the high season. A mooring
will run you $27 a night (includes launch) and dockage is $1.80
per foot. The heads are the cleanest I've seen anywhere. There
are a few nice little restaurants right up the street (West) from
the marina gas dock. One is The Islander which is okay for dinner
and not too expensive. There is also a small cafe inside a converted
movie theatre (now mini-mall) just up the street from The Islander
which serves a good cheap breakfast. If you're into fancy, Head
North from the Marina to the Bay Voyage Inn which GLADLY takes
American Express.
Another possibility is to catch the bus (RITA public transportation)
across the bridge to Newport. Bus schedules are inside a tobacco
shop directly across from Ferry Landing (the gas dock).
By far the best meals I've had in Jamestown came directly from
Encore's galley - even Dinty Moore tastes great aboard.
