If we're adding a 4th port? How about making it somewhere in the middle like MYC centrally located? If we're spending big bucks might as well spend it all!!!!! Wahoooo

Harold,
Besides higher premium, I think there's a minimum of 3 nights stay requirement.
IMO, it's an awesome experience to be part of the festival, IF you really into Jazz. Otherwise, if you have different agenda, majority of things will be more of a hassle rather than enjoyment, due to overcrowded places anywhere you go and anything you do. Jelena and I discussed this and decided that since we're not much of a Jazz people, then no reason having extra aggravation and expense.
Making Newport a last port is an option, of course. However, IMO, having it in a middle would be a nice diversification. Staying in WNH over the weekend, we'll do mostly water activities, beach and some games at the fields. If Newport is port #2, our activities will be geared more toward site seeing and exploring the area. In order to get in the water, you either use marina's pool or drive (need wheels, bikes/mopeds or dinghy) to get to the beach. Then if we head to Greenwich as port #3, we're back to mostly water activities, with option for some limited land activities.
Of course this is just personal approach and if logistically it works better for majority, it won't matter to me if it's first, mid or last port. I love it and will enjoy it regardless.
Having end of the flotilla feast in Newport would be awesome. I even have a spectacular spot in mind. However, based on my findings, the prices are just not reasonable. If we can have someone with local knowledge who could help us find a decent place for reasonable cost, then of course I'll be the first one to vote for it.
I have the following question to the group, staying 2 nights in each port opens some room for another port. Do you wish to consider adding a 4th port to the itinerary? I know that majority still need to get back home on Sunday. But, theoretically we have, if not two, but at least one extra night.
Below is just an example:

The arrow looks awfully close to Mystic, are you dropping a hint........:smt115
Block looks as if it would be a good midpoint to end the Flotilla. You have our vote for Block as a 4th if we go that route. As for the Jazz festival we don't look forward to the crowd either, especially with the kids.
That's funny I just walked past That last week on my way to Texas De Brazil. (A must dine) I dint like it. Looks like a sub. Big but uglydo we have dates for Newport and is that a confirmed stop at this point? I'll call and reserve if so. We like slips, so if Block or Shelter, let me know if I have to call.
BTW, if you need a bigger boat, this is anchored off my hotel in PR right now. http://www.bizjournals.com/seattle/blog/2014/08/one-of-the-worlds-largest-private-yachts-the-super.html?s=image_gallery
