Brian,
If you go down the Sakonnet River, there are also town moorings in Fogland (Tiverton) and Third Beach (Middletown). We sometimes make an overnight stop on the way to Cuttyhunk and have always found an open mooring. Fogland is more protected and Third Beach can be choppy. Wickford is a neat little village. There are several options for moorings or tying up between two pilings inside the harbor. You can get a mooring at Battleship Cove from Dockwa. The key attractions are a WWII submarine and several targets. If you or your wife have seen a battleship before, I doubt if it's worth a night.

It has been years since we have spent any time there, though frequently stop over at Sachuest on the Sekonnet when passing by traveling east or west. We prefer to anchor or grab a mooring vs. tying up at a dock. Our preliminary itinerary is to make a circle around the bay: Dutch Island - probably a mooring at Dutch I Marina Potter's Cove - is there a place to anchor or is it all moorings, are any moorings open and available? Bristol YC - plan to go to the Herreschoff and AC museum as has been redone since we were there last, possibly the Blithewold Estate. Is Linden Place museum worth a visit? A couple nights going down the Sekonnet Any suggestions about any of these locations or others is appreciated. Am not planning on going to Newport as it is just too crowded. Wickford has been recommended as a great village to visit but the only time have been there was tied up at a marina on a very hot and humid August day [not the best memory] and did not see any moorings or a place to really anchor. Battleship Cove is a possible though not sure the Admiral really wants to visit the Massachusetts, and I am not sure I want to spend the night there, if one can. TIA, Brian
