You could fuel up at Westerly. They have an automatic fuel pump there. I flew up to MVY two weeks ago. Fuel
there is $2.80. The weather here has been bad lately for VFR. There is a brand new airport there and they
have fuel trucks that run around while you eat lunch. I crossed over from Mass at Westport(private) or New
Bedford. Shortest point overwater.
