I'm at FL Tripp's marina in the westport River and they seem to have moorings. Although, this year they are saying that they are getting moor renters.It's a little tricky getting in and out of the river but you can be at Cuttyhunk in a couple hours and over to Martha's vineyard in about 6 hours. The Elizabeth chain of islands offers some nice anchoring. Although, I'm pretty new to the area and have not been to any of them yet. But I hear all the talk! I love it there and Westport and South Dartmouth are beautiful places to live. Very rural though. But you can be in providence in 40 minutes from the shore and Boston in about an hour. Tiverton RI is right there too. Bristol is great! I lived there during college and go back every summer for restaurants and walking around. It is a daysail to get out to buzzard's Bay. Jamestown is also really great! If you're on the north side your pretty well protected. Narragansett bay is really great fro destination sailing. Bristol, Newport, Fall river, Wickford... Sometimes the wind doesn't make it in there though... I sailed out of MT. hope bay my first 5-6 years sailing an O'day 22. There some great places to just anchor and hang out too. Very protected! My feeling is, you can't go wrong anywhere in the area. summers here are amazing!!! Danny

I like the Westport River. You have a fun island in the entrance to dinghy over to and some really nice ocean beaches. Can’t say how easy it is to get a mooring or a slip right now.
