So went over to the dam yesterday and saw they have a big chunk of wood blocking the boat ramp. Never seen this before and I think it's there intentionally because I want to put the new boat in. On the plus side the sail boat house is awesome and puts off a ton of light for so night fishing at the docks
Maybe they're gonna redo the ramp since its horrible with the 2 foot drop off in it. Or maybe it's the tufts guys being jealous that we don't shave our legs.
I'm being optimistic but your right they won't do that ramp over. There not getting in there before me even if I have to chain the wood up and pull it outta there!
I would not be surprise if the ramp being blocked has something to do with the upcoming herring run. The Mystic watershed association treat the herring run as the second coming.
With the new sailing center owned by Tufts, and the existing boat club, I would not be surprised if public access over there is on borrowed time. I heard a rumor that Tufts owns the land where the launch is located. Who knows?
Yeah, I stopped by last week to check out if there was ice. There was about 4-5 railroad ties together & tied to a stake next to boat ramp, not blocking it. Figured it was tied up to keep it outta the dam?
