I've never gone all the way up by boat, but it isn't that bad a trip.
The river is wide and deep, somewhat bigger than the New Meadows.
Of course, with 100 foot hills on both side of the river, I wouldn't
expect it to be a reach.

Every trip that we've had the time to consider the various inland
routes, we've used that time to head further East, like to Merchants' Row.

I don't know why you wouldn't expect reception in The Basin, its only 6
miles from Bath, about 8 from Brunswick. It just feels like it in the
boonies. My TV, admittedly with a powered antennae 20 feet up the mast,
gets a clear signal from up to 50 miles.

Most Honorable Captain Rob ,,,

There is a reason that "babe" is sleeping on "your" boat!

Last summer as I was cruising about Casco Bay, I anchored up the New
Meadows River at a spot called The Basin. Had my after sail coffee,
listened to some music, starting reading and ................. then I
plugged in my el cheapo black and white tv. The B/W tv runs off of the
cigarette battery power plug ..

I figured I'd never get any reception. Wrong! A very clear station came
on ... it was the NHP Station ... national public tv ,, the education
station or whathaveya ..

I sit back, pour a cup ,,, relax ..... and guess what the show is?

A documentary of the sinking of the Andrea Doria.

How is that for irony?
