Hit something

Belmont Resident · 06-03-2013, 05:29 PM

Both my wife and I have taken that route for years, like 10, and never hit a thing.
It is the straightest route up or down the bay and eliminates a lot of traffic.

I always take that route. Even in the middle of the night. I don't see it very hard to do if you just pay attention. I did notice the buoys have shifted a bit through the years. I tend to travel a lot further from the navigation markers lately as I notice a number of markers have drifted out of place. When the buoys were wooden, then had a number plate on them to report to the MP. The plastic ones they used do not, making it more difficult to report.

We noticed some semi-submerged dock debris with nails floating in Paugus on Saturday. It is possible that you hit that. We mentioned the debris to a couple of boaters; since we were on the PWCs we could not pick it up.

I go through there all the time because it is the most direct shot out of the bay from Lakeport. I would never go between the markers though. I always split the difference between the markers and the small island. If you go between the markers, you are headed for a huge pile of rocks that is not very deep, but very hard!
