Too Dangerous for Safe Boating!

Funny you should mention the Thimble Islands, arguably one of the most
scenic locations on Long Island Sound. We went there for the first
time in the summer of 1972 and have been going back ever since.
Unfortunately the 49 is a tad on the large size for safe anchoring in
the islands. We've never found any uncharted rocks although there are
always a few folks who rediscover one of the many that are on the
charts.

I anchor out there often. I regularly see larger boats there. The
holding between High and Pot Islands is good, (sticky clay/mud) and
there is also plenty of room east of Pot Island. Just don't try to
anchor between High and Pot when there is strong wind directly from
the south. That can be pretty uncomfortable. When that happens, I tuck
in behind Horse Island for protection. I really don't think you would
have any problems.

Any problems with "uncharted rocks" ? :-)

Counting the bow pulpit and swim platform the GB49 is really more like
a 55, and I like to have a lot of scope and swinging room. It is a
great place to hang out though.
