On serious bilge pumping........
"Roger Long" wrote in message ... I wonder if there is a spot in New England where more boats, many with very experienced skippers, have come to grief. There might be quite a few spots close by Woods Hole. Going west think about: Westport Harbor entrance near the Knubble, "Sow and Pigs" reef, "Hens and Chickens" reef, "Robinsons Hole", and Cana****it. All of Buzzards bay was considered a ship's graveyard in the 19th century and the various harbor entrances reefs and and "holes" produced quite a few drownings over the years. As I recall we lost an expereinced fishing guide in Robinsons Hole this last summer. Going east the outer cape (P-town to Chatham) and most of Natucket sound were considered deadly in the 19th century. I guess you could characterise cruising Nantucket Sound and Buzzards Bay as "character building". |

I guess you could characterise cruising Nantucket Sound and Buzzards Bay as "character building". I grew up on Buzzards Bay and it was a great place to sail. I liked going across the bay to Woods Hole and see the rooster tails coming up from nuns 6 and 8 when the tide was running as we headed in to Hadleys Harbor. Leanne |
