conditions & access

Best wind

North-sector wind implied by the north-to-south route; exact successful direction and speed not published

Season

Completed-session report; exact month and recurring season not established

Water

Narragansett Bay wind swell on an approximately ten-mile north-to-south line

Experience

Advanced tidal-bay downwinder with local endpoint confirmation

Hazards

Ambiguous launch bridge, approximately ten miles of tidal-bay exposure, fading-wind risk demonstrated by the report, vessel traffic and no published bailout or rescue plan.

Parking & access

Identify the intended Jamestown bridge access locally, verify legal Point Judith recovery, and arrange a two-point shuttle; the forum does not establish public parking or launch rights.

“Progression Project forum first-hand reporting documents a roughly ten-mile north-to-south run from a bridge identified in the post as the Jamestown Bridge toward Point Judith. One rider completed about eight miles with a wing before the wind faded, while another completed it directly downwind. Because the post does not disambiguate the bridge or publish a track, the pin is a broad Narragansett Bay route midpoint.”
