• Photoday! I was lured into the Annisquam River and Blynman Canal last September.
  • That place is on my bucket list
    • Very easy to go aground here but mostly soft sand and mud
      • Your description last year here made me want to try it.
        • I've always done overnights at the north end along the beaches
      • What about my 28' beam?
        • You won't catch me going through in my tri
          • I checked the charts
            • I might try to get over this summer
    • I did. I recall it takes about an hour.
  • Can 6 foot draft get through at low tide?
    • I don't think so, Mike.
      • Most of the moored boats along the canal are very shoal draft.
      • thanks - thats what I suspected
        • You should be okay at mid tide. At low, there's only a few spots that will get you and then just wait an hour
          • thanks - good to know - much appreciated
  • Evening
    • Indeed it is.
  • The area between Boston and Portland ME
    • I've been skipping that area. If I want to sail more, I have to slow down, and stop trying to go somewhere.
      • That makes a lot of sense to me
      • Beyond Schoodic....
