[C320-list] Battery Charger Mystery - Cohasset Harbor

[Jon Vez]

Thanks Dave,

I've been to Cohasset many times via land and love the area, which is why I
was curious about the shoaling...perhaps we'll make a stop in via boat given
your suggestions/warnings re: low tide and access to a transient mooring.
Always looking for somewhere different to take the boat...

Thanks to all for the feedback on my charger problem.  I'll be doing further
investigation this weekend and will report back.

In response to Jon Vez re Cohasset, we are way overdue for a dredging and
things are getting interesting.  Shoaling at the entrance to the inner
harbor (50 - 75 yards off Whitehead  -  see chart) has become severe, with
only about 3 1/2 feet of water in the center of the channel at low water on
an extreme low tide.  However, it's a 9 ft. tidal swing, and about two and a
half hours either side of dead low you can comfortably navigate the channel,
like the two dozen of us sailboats who reside there do pretty regularly.  A
well kept secret is that there are two seldom used transient moorings in the
inner harbor ("Cohasset Cove"
on the chart) managed by the Harbor Master, Laurie Gibbons.  She'll let you
have one for $30 a night.  And there are several pretty good restaurants
within walking distance  - two on the harbor, two downtown
(1/2 mile walk).  It's a picturesque place to spend a night if I do say so.
Quintessential New England.
