Info on the cod trip January 22, 2011:
The Francis Fleet - New Times for 2011: Boat sails at 3:00 AM and returns at 3:00 PM. Price is $95 + Rod rental. Inshore Schedule Here
SCARBOROUGH BEACH MOTEL is located in Narragansett, RI 7 minutes from the Francis Fleet.
Rooms w/ 3 double beds are 89.00 a night + tax, with an extra roll-away for $10.
My friend Hal wants to leave early Friday afternoon and get a room so we can get some shut eye before departure. Otherwise, you are looking at an 11:30pm departure from CT to make the boat departure.

My suggestion is as folows: Get 3-4 people to split a room and make reservations now. You can cancel up to three days in advance. Wait until Tuesday before to make a call on the boat reservation to get an idea of the weather. If the weather looks iffy, we could try to push back to the Sunday trip or cancel the rooms and shoot for another date.
