1515.0. "Swap Moorings for vacation?" by BOSTP2::BEAU () Fri May 25 1990 15:58

    I have a mooring available for any one week during the summer
    I'd like to trade for a like mooring somewhere else that is
    pleasant cruising to for a week.. My extra mooring is located
    in Padanaram harbor (near New Berdford....very nice cruising
    grounds for the Elizabeth Islands (Cuttyhunk, etc), wonderful
    jumping off point for Block Island or Nantucket (depending on
    your direction).  The mooring is in around 6 feet of water, and
    can comfortably hold a boat up to around 30' in normal seas,
    or 25-28' in heavy seas. There are local restaurants, marinas
    (Concordia Yawls, for one), limited showering facilities, a
    beach nearby (not great, but okay), good clamming in the harbor
    mouth, etc. The mooring is around 1 hour from Marlboro, MA by
    car, if you want to commute for the week.
    
    If you're interested, let me know by phone (dtn 224-1647).  
    Alternatively, if you have a mooring or slip you'd like to exchange 
    for your vacation, reply to this note and we can get an
    exchange going.

    We won't necessarily want to swap but I know our mooring in Jamestown
    will be unoccupied for most of the month of July.  I will be gone the
    week of July 4 and my partner will be gone the last two weeks in July.  
    
    We are located off Clark's Boat Yard south the Connanicut Marine
    moorings but on the North side of the Dumplings.  If interested, drop
    me a line and I will see what partner says.  Mooring will take a 40'
    boat.  We are very convenient to the ocean and Newport.
