Easy In, easy out fuel docks Tue, 18 September 2007 11:29
The post relating to the docking problems at the fuel dock in Port Clyde prompted this thread. Having a full keel, manuverability is allways an issue in tight quarters. Here are three easy in and out fuel docks that come to mind quickly.

1. Boothbay Harbor / Carousel Marina - Nice long dock, easy approach from either north or south. Deep water all around.

2. Rockland / Landings Marina - Fairly long dock, eazy approach from north or south. Deep water. A little exposed in strong winds from the east.

3. Northeast Harbor / Clifton Dock on the west side of the approach to the inner harbor. - Not a large dock but not usually real busy. I think it shallows out quickly if you are moving south paralel to the dock going south. You just need to turn toward the channel soon after leaving the dock. The easiest approach is probably from the north but not a real problem from the south either.

Anybody have any others?
