I'm about to buy a 32 foot, 4 foot draft, boat in Patchogue, New York and
will need to get it back to Maine in the spring. I'd like to use the
opportunity to explore some of the inside passages of this area. The Coast
Pilot mentions frequent shoaling and some of the bascule bridge listings on
the chart look tight for a sailboat.

I'd like to make contact with someone who is familiar with these waters to
determine the feasibility of some of the routes.
