Default New Boat

Just to comment about boating in Narraganzett Bay...

Been there that many times, boaiing with my 20' Bowrider. I usually
put-in around Barrington, and cruise down past Bristol and around Prudence Island. There's a nice litttle cove at the North end on Bristol side, where people raft, and anchor just off the island. Can get crowded on the w/e's.
Bristol has a great little State Park 'Colt S.P.' with a boat ramp.

Also, Greenwich Bay is very nice, with some restuarants you can dock at their door. Same for Wickford, picture post-card harbor!

Haven't ventured past Newport bridge, and out of the bay, too much open water for me and my little 20 footer !

Enjoy your new boat this summer, and have fun in Narragansett !
