Floating docks, nyah, nyah....and 40 miles inland....we
asked about
that and found out we're pretty much as safe as you can
get where
we're at...the guys from Tidewater told me some great
stories about
people who anchor in the anchorage in the Trent and how
they made so
much money pulling sailboats out of the swamp when they
didn't
hold....we're also behind all that bridge structure...I
suppose the
bridge could collapse on us...but I don't think so...
The way the winds prevail, not far at all....a couple miles...you
can set your sails and run out one way or run back in the other on a
beam reach...there is a bottle neck that comes up right after you
hit Doug's marina but after that the river opens up to the
Sound...Doug would be able to give you the actual miles...if we were
shallower draft, we'd have more room to sail but have to watch the
depth gauge so we don't go aground....
