Katy, how far must you motor to get to good sailing?

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....


The Hames River is REALLY shallow, so you have to take the channel
out to the Elizabeth and then out to the Bay....it's really not all
that far but there are a lot of things to worry about along the
way..like all the terminals and bases....
