[C320-list] Any Kent Narrows (Chesapeake) travelers?

[Ronniew326 at aol.com]

Sorry about the premature and unfinished message about Kent Narrows.
 
The "red" side of the channel is indeed around 5" at low  tide between the 
first and second markers so I would recommend that  you try to stay (if near 
low tide) as far to the left of the channel as  possible.  I've never run 
aground there but the water is definitely  thin at low tide.  5.1 feet is the 
lowest I've recorded on  my depth sounder (so far).  Good Luck.

Larry,  
Gee you boat number is close to mine. I am going through there to St.  
Michaels in about three weeks so I sure would be interested in what you find.  


Thanks,

I am  planning on traveling through Kent Narrows this weekend on the way to 
St  
Michaels. Chesapeake Bay magazine recently reported shoaling of under 5  
feet on 
the North entrance on the "red" side of the channel. Has anyone  traversed 
the 
Narrows this summer? If so, did you have any problems or  notice any 
shoaling? 
It's been about 5 years or so since I've been  through. 

Thanks in advance,
