: Your boat should have no problem running out of Grindstone. Keep your out drive all the way up until you get into deeper water. The cannel is a bit more narrow this year. There is no room for opposing traffic in the cannel. Just have to wait your turn to get in and out. Nice port if you like quite, sleepy little area.

: : : : Would like to dive the Philadelphia off Pt Aux Barques Mi.I understand that Grindstone city is the closest launch ramp to the wreck. I have heard that the water is no longer deep enough in the outside channel for a 24ft I/O boat, does anyone have any info regarding getting out of Grindstone or a alternate ramp that is a close run to the wreck site? thanks Mike
: : : They blasted a channel in the rock a couple of years ago, so I think you will be okay.

: : I know back when they built the harbor they blasted the outer channel. but not heard of any recent improvements. Have you used the facility in the last 2 years? Thanks Mike
Thanks Kevin much appreciate the info. Mike
