Any Advice for Newport, Rhode Island?

[Derek]

I'll be sailing up to Newport, RI next summer to attend a year masters program at the Naval War College (I'm pretty excited about it).  Does anyone have any tips, tricks, or advice for how to manage having my Catalina 34 there in the Newport area for a year?  I've never been there before and it seems like most people get a long-term mooring and maybe haul out in the winter, but I truly have no idea.  Any advice would be gratefully welcome!

Good evening everyone and happy holidays!
