BTW, I thought it funny that you actually believed all the rocks around
the Thimbles were marked on charts.


So far we've had the good fortune not to hit any of them.

They aren't. I would be delighted to
point you and your floating RV to several areas along the Connecticut
shoreline in the Sound where there are rocks not marked on the charts.
There are several, for example, right here in an area I know very, very
well:

A couple of the larger ones are marked. Several of the smaller ones that
are subrosa are not marked at all and in fact are not visible in this
aerial shot.


What town?

We would not usually not push our luck that close to the Connecticut
shore except in a well marked channel. Prop repairs on a big boat get
to be fairly expensive and can take you out of service until you find
a diver with the right tools.
