Centerboard Yacht Club

South Portland, Maine

Just thought the community might be interested in knowing that last weekend, while motoring in the anchorage around the low tide, we SLAMMED into an underwater obstruction (a rock, as it turns out) just to the north of Mooring #35.  A quick, dead stop and I went flying, and, after xrays, turns out I busted a toe. Who knew? So watch out when motoring in the anchorage at low low tide. Not the best way to end the season...

Eric, I hope you heal quickly. I am sorry to hear of the accident, thank you for letting us know - I have found that there are a few obstructions around at low tide (especially a drainer) and that I have to be very careful to go really slowly as I go into the dock. If you can help me locate the obstruction we may be able to add it to our mooring chart in hopes of helping out folks in the future. - Gregg
