Leaving my dock and maneuvering through the trees down the canal to get to Albemarle Sound.

Albemarle Sound,NC

I spent most of my money on boats and beer, the rest I just wasted.

How in the heck did the boat get back there in the first place? I thought the bridge at the end of my canal was a pain...

I thought I would add a photo of Hake Yachts solution for shallow water and rudders:



I don't know if something like that could be made to work on a C25, but it might be possible.

It got back here because I live up the canal.

You would not believe the number of trees I took down and branches I broke off in order to get in and out.

It is not to bad now but I still have a number of branches to take down.

Don't you just love those swing/wing keels. I love my wing. I guess your dock is considered a honey hole!

Sweet... I love skinny water, and I miss it bad. Part of the fun.



What are your tides there?

My dock is at the "Bulkhead" in my back yard.

There is no noticeable astronomical tide because the water height is affected mostly by the wind. When the wind is from southeast the water comes into the sound. A Northwest wind blows the water out of the sound toward the ocean.

Have you seen Humphrey Bogart? I believe he pulls his boat up and down that canal.

I do believe I saw him but I was drinking a lot that day so I'm not sure. I'll keep an eye out for him.
