I think you guys have come up with a good option here. I'm not signing up yet (wife) but am following this thread closely! I would P1 this option also if I was signed up.

We're going to include Newport on our trip. 1st or 2nd is fine.
I wish I was going eastbound, John. I love those ports.
If anyone is interested, here's the link to the marina in West Neck Harbor:

I got some additional info regarding options for the arrangement. I realize that it's possible for the majority to stay in the raft, so I asked about minimum slip the group require to take in order for the whole group (who too kthe slip and those that are rafted) to be allowed using their facilities at least for the eve during the feast. So, we have two option:
1. We need to take about dozen of slips in order for our feast to be held at the marina's designated picnic area.
2. If most don't want the slips and wish to take a chance to fit everyone (or majority) in the anchorage, then we can order catering service and use their restaurant's facility. In this case we would be allowed to take our dinghies and pull up to the marina/restaurant for the evening. I'm trying to get in touch with the restaurant to get prices and see if this an option that would work well for us.
I'll keep you guys posted with more details as I find them. In the meantime, if anyone has any thoughts, objections or suggestions, let's hear them.
Alex,
Did you ask if they would rent out the space needed to host the feast? Kind of like what MYC did??
Glad to see the feast is back on in shelter - sounds good to me - as for the second port, we'll probably do sag - napatree is a great spot with a good beach but why bother, your going to block next with a much better beach - as far a dinghying in to watch hill, don't blink or you'll miss everything - there is very little there and what is there closes up by 8pm - you may get to see taylor swift though...mystic or newport would be much better choices, again, i don't have a dog in that fight, but i'm just putting it out there for you guys - either way i will meet back up with you guys at block.
Block is as West as we have time to go.Michael, I have your votes for Newport and Block. In case if Newport doesn't get enough votes (for port #1 or port #2), we'll meet up in Block. For now I assumed that your itinerary doesn't bring you close enough Westbound to attend the feast. Am I right?
