We are planning on going to see the airshow by boat this year. We have reservations at Newport Harbor Hotel on Friday June 10th and Saturday June 11th. The plan is to anchor off Quonset and watch the show on Satruday and Sunday.
If anyone is interested in meeting up with us and rafting for the show we would be glad to have the company. If you are coming from far and need a place to dock, The Newport Harbor hotel has slips available. They have nice facilities with an indoor pool and next to Bowens wharf right in the heart of Newport.
Now a couple of questions for those who have gone to see the show by boat, where is the best place to anchor, north of the airport, south of the airport or right in the middle to the east of the runways? Looks like the runway runs NW to SE so I assume south would be best but I don't have local knowledge of the area.
Is there a dock or place to land with a dingy at the airport to get on land and walk the show?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or local knowledge of this
