I grew up in Huntington (my wife in Greenwich). We went down there a few years back (in September...glorious time of year) and visited the old haunts. Stayed at Indian Harbor Yacht club and Northport. Went in and of Huntington and I was a wee bit draft concerned.
I guess the nicer anchorages (Lloy's Harbor Lloyd's Neck, Easton's Neck?) I couldn't go near...but during the week in September everything is quiet, even the larger harbors I can get into. We even had wind. David F. Risch 1981 40-2 (401) 419-4650 (cell) Date: Fri, 11 Jul 2014 11:47:51 -0400 To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Re: Stus-List what is wrong with these boats? From: cnc-list@cnc-list.com The issue is not sailing to places across deep water. The issue is where you can stop and visit. In the area I outlined, a 7.5 foot draft would eliminate probably something like 75% of the nicest anchorages. Maybe more. I have been sailing this area for over 50 years.

I will probably avoid Woods hole for a number of reasons. Just need to pay attention as always.
