Canal At Sunset

Here's REEL Deal at the dock at Sunset...due to low tides I can' tleave her here 24/7, but w/a mid to high tide, I can slip in and pick the crowd off the dock and go again!!...

The dock in front of RD was at the house USMMA2013 was stayin' w/his family...was hopin' to get Matt out in the V, but he got the call and had to fly...literally to Houston...took his dad out and met his mom...all great folks and hope to see 'em again...gotta feelin' there will be a V-20 along for their next trip!!

Man thats crazy that you cant get in that canal at low tide....It looks so much bigger than the ones on OIB which look like ditches at low tide. I'd almost not believe you if it wasn't for the fact there is not a single boat docked anywhere in that picture....

From time to time you'll see big boats tied up in here...but they are either rookies or willing to confine their boating activities to favorable tides...

At the dock the bow sits on oyster shells at low tide...but floats clear 2' away from the dock...canals are navigable all the way out to Tubbs Inlet where there is a shallow mouth that'll hang a V at low tide...then there are the shallows in the S turns in the creek, just before you get to the ICW...it KILLS me the powers that be are unwilling to do the little bit of dredging that would make these docks really, fully accessible to the waterway...when they make me king, that's one of the priorities...LOL!!...:sun:
