Lobster Pot floats and toggles
I'm leaving for a six week trip to Maine from Baltimore, MD on June 24th.
I'll primarily be in and around Penobscot Bay for the majority of the trip going nonstop from the Cape Cod Canal to Tenants Harbor, ME. My question is: Just how bad are the lobster floats / toggles in Maine? Here in the Chesapeake Bay we have a lot of crab pots sometimes to the point of where you have to avoid an area because the pots are so thick. I'm a licensed captain with 45 years of sailing experience and thousands of hours offshore and coastal sailing. I've got a 2003 Beneteau 473 with virtually every known piece of navigation and communications gear. Even so, I'm planning to do no sailing at night or in the fog while within any bays or near coastal waters of Maine. Any personal experiences will be greatly appreciated. |
