Thanks all, I have a dock reservation pending! Champlin's has a two night minimum so I'm trying my luck at the New Harbor Boat Basin first. If neither of those work out, I'll try my luck at Fishers Island or somewhere else up the CT coast.
I had not considered Cuttyhunk Island as a possibility, and will definitely add it to the itinerary of a future cruise. Sounds much more my speed versus Block. Thanks for the recommendation, Damian!

Tom, I second Edd's comments. Go for a slip. Choice is limited - many of the slips are too shallow. When we lived in Connecticut, Block was the most fun part of our summer cruise. Rather than deal with the uncertainty of finding a mooring, we would book a "slip" at Champlin's. I use the term slip advisedly, because Champlin's pile the boats in, and you will inevitably find yourself rafted 3 deep. However, that is all part of the fun. The place is a summer-long party (80% power boaters), with a bar by the fuel dock, music, pizza, ice-cream, cinema, pool. Really a lot of fun - and that is before you even leave the marina. If you have an extra couple of days, Cuttyhunk is about 35 miles further. The "anti-Block". Well worth the visit.
