No way in holy hell will 6+ thru hull exhaust boats get in there.

I'd say forget o.b. keep on going and hit e town. Right outside the etown harbor entrance by the light house there is good calm waters where the big azz sailboats anchor.
I'd suggest dropping hook there with a giant anchor which anyone can borrow from me if needed.(30 lb Danforth) Raft up and make that your spot.
Will Def need a raft to get inshore which mike your welcome to. I've got a hard bottom which probably won't do so hot as far as using space on the boat. But also have a slat floor dink that rolls up good and would be pretty mint .

Ps etown a Lil more upity than o.b. but I fit in just fine with my tight salmon colored nad hugger shorts and 100$ vineyard vines T !!!;)

Psps......You'd get laughed out of Nantucket

Karen and I are in! Where and when?

I would be interested too. Of course pending Jamie as well :). What about block island?

Block island will be as often as possible. I hope to be running the boat by end of April. If any one needs help going//getting running let me know like to have a great group running this year. Only logged 8 hours in 3 years hope to do much more this year

I need a boat. LOL

Yes you do let's get on that shall wee

I always wanted to do that trip, I'm interested. Is there a good boat ramp near earls?

If I don't go, which I probably wont.
I'd recommend going thru quicks hole for anyone who has never passed thru. Bring em down off plane and look for the island deer and wild cow / bulls. They are big as fuch and pretty cool to see just creeping around. The islands have very small trees but you still need to look for em because they blend in so well.

There's a ramp across the street from Earle's that you kind of have to time with the tides otherwise you can't fit under the small bridge (unless you go all the way around and out which isn't that bad.) Or...5 minutes down the road there's a public ramp. Launched there many times, out through New Bedford, and into Buzzards Bay.

Mike why wouldn't you go? Why be a flay ma.
