CT river guys
 

this is for the smaller boat guys but
what size boats are you running out to Claudios/Greenport?
length
freeboard

thanks

What boat do you have?

It all depends on the weather!!! Sometimes it's flat as glass..you could go out there in a 15 foot Whaler...othertimes I would not touch it in less than a 25 footer. Just my 2 cents.

Sometimes I wouldn't touch it at all!!! A good time at Claudios can turn bad real fast. Storms sneak up quickly, the wind can slowely pick-up, add a fast moving tide and your in for trouble. Always check the weather forcast and watch the sky......and don't drink to much:food-smiley-009:

i have a 18' bow rider 190 horse
ive been out to claudios once in a 26' cuddy, it was awhile ago and cant remember how long or how far Claudios is, but im pretty sure my bowrider would be to small for that trip.
ive been from Hartford down to essex twice couldnt explore farther was running out of time, but did notice the water is rough down there.
thought id get some info from you guys that do it
thanks

It all depends on the conditions, some days it's flat as a pancake, others , it's silly nasty. Just gotta check the conditions and the forcast.

P.S. Even if it's nice, it can get nasty real quick, gotta keep an eye on things!

And we have not even metioned "The Gut" ....that's a beast in itself!!!

wunderground.com makes a pretty accurate marine forecast...check and go...but know your limits, plum gut can and does get nasty...check the tides, seas, wind, boat traffic...etc.

Im headed there tomorrow from OS. Chris no more Velocity but i have the Husler now, You in?

Mike, what you doin tomorrow? We'll be launching in Saybrook tomorrow. Not sure where were going to go yet. Went to Claudios today and it wasnt that busy at all due to the wind and it being pretty rough all over the place!!!
