Summary

[edit]
Description

3 bridges cross the Piscataqua at the maine NH border. The channel is treacherous due to strong currents. Two of the bridges are draw bridges It is craziness to try and sail into this harbour, firstly the boat channel is very narrow at 50 m, secondly the wind is extremely fluky in the entrance, thirdly there are strong tidal cross sets, and finally the consequences of ending up helpless in the narrow channel in front of a ferry bearing down on you don't bear thinking about.

Also bear in mind that the tide can flow out of the entrance at up to 5 kn around three hours after high water springs, so it's essential to consult the tide tables to know what to expect.
