Rhode Island, United States · 41.4550, -71.4250
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.”
