Speedy deletion nomination of Payne's Dock
A tag has been placed on Payne's Dock requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Copy of Payne's Dock

Payne's Dock is a New Harbor marina in the Great Salt Pond in Block Island, Rhode Island.

The owners are Cliff Payne and his son Sands Payne. No matter how crowded the marina may be, they have mastered the craft of docking and undocking boats of any size. Watching them squeeze boats in and out of tight quarters is a nail-biting experience. As long as the captains listen to Cliff and Sands and their fellow dock hands, there are rarely any accidents or crashes.

The docks are mainly fixed, but there are a few floating docks for smaller boats (usually boats less than 30 feet). Payne’s is listed as having space for 50 boats, but there always seems to be many more (especially during busy times like 4th of July) because boats get rafted off to each other. It’s important that the people here are friendly since there are always strangers walking across your boat.

Payne's Dock is a friendly place to stay and is always filled with families and little kids. The same boats and boaters can be seen there time and time again, as many Payne's lovers keep their boat there all summer long. Reservations are not taken, and boaters must call the dock once they are in the Great Salt Pond to see if space is available (which is usually is). If not, moorings are always available close by, where boaters can keep their boat and wait until space opens up. Kids can be found crabbing or jumping off of the pilings into the water all day long. There is a small beach alongside the marina that’s good for walking dogs or anchoring dinghies.

At Payne’s Dock, there is a snack bar that serves breakfast and lunch. It is famous for their “killer doughnuts” which come in cinnamon, sugar, and plain flavors. Other popular orders include clam chowder, clam cakes, and soft serve ice cream. Another attraction is the bar: Mahogany Shoals, whose slogan is “the bar you’ve been practicing for.” There is an inside and outside section to the bar, and on most nights you can find Walter McDonough playing his guitar and singing away for entertainment. At the dock gift shop, visitors can purchase t-shirts, handmade jewelry, and salt water taffy.

Out of the 3 New Harbor marinas on the island, Payne’s is the closest one to town (Old Harbor). It is within walking distance to many places like, Dead Eye Dick’s seafood restaurant, The Oar restaurant, Boat Basin Marina, and a kayak rental place. Also, it is one of the few places on the island that sells gasoline.
