DOCKING FACILITIES
The harbor is
quite busy during the prime summer cruising season, and transient dock
space here is almost nonexistent. The only game in town is the landmark,
red-roofed New Bedford Yacht Club
Phone: (508) 997-0762, where you can rent a mooring. (Some dock space
may be available from time to time, but I wouldn't count on it.)
Stand by Nun "12" as you make the approach in Apponagansett
Bay, and hail the launch on VHF channel 68 for instructions. Make sure
to reserve your mooring well in advance, especially during the summer
cruising season, as this area tends to fill up rather quickly. The $40
fee includes launch service and use of the club's facilities, including
an excellent restaurant. The price of meals is, of course, extra.
