I never tried low tide, but mid tide or better was fine. I haven’t tried this year yet. I think I saw the dredge barges out there at one point, but I really don’t know what they did. How soon are you going through? I might be able to do a survey this weekend, but failing that I wouldn’t try except near high tide.

I looked up the specifications on the web site and get a draft of 5’11”. When I last went through the Narrows, I was marginal with my 5 foot draft. Are we in trouble? Plus high tides are around 5:00 for the next few days…. Joe, do you know if they have done any dredging recently?
