Cruising the CT River
Can one cruise up the CT River from LI Sound in a powerboat that draws
four feet? And, if so, how far up can one go without portaging? Do you have to go really slow? Information, ideas on good reads, or advice would be appreciated. Harlan -- Tro respond, obviously drop the nospam! |

Cruising the CT River
Careful. If you have a New York registration or home port on your boat, the
likelihood of being pulled over and ticketed for something is extremely good, even if you are obeying the rules to the letter. The CT DEC guys around Saybrook are especially voracious. Its a great local revenue producer. They know its easier to pay the $60 ticket rather than drive all the way up there to fight it in court. Take it from one who's been there. (In the meantime, Connecticut boaters continually blast through Oyster Bay Harbor at full throttle - thoughtlessly and illegally causing havoc and damage with their wakes. Go figure).

Cruising the CT River
Hey Bill - I'm merely reporting my experience and the experience of others. It
happened to me and I've seen it happen to others. It's a common story on the Long Island side of the Sound, and it is far from "Baloney". However, if you choose to learn the lesson the hard way, be my guest. It won't change my boating experience one way or the other. Larry Weiss "...Ever After!"

Good! Stay on your side of the Sound. We really don't need any more Noo Yawk assholes stinking up the place. BB Larry Wuss "...Ever After!" "a little after..." wrote: |
