Hey TRO, I don't know the name of it but if you were coming in to the harbor from the water you go left past the gas docks and it's right on the right across from that little peninsula. It is narrow, steep and has a ripping current.I was able to slip the boat at a private house just down stream from there.Man, I love that area - you guys should really appreciate what you got there nice clean water and beaches - and that big rock called Block!

OK - maybe he is talking the same place. You mean the ramp just past the rickety bridge, right?

I knew I should have taken you for a ride when I was up there.From the road, this place was just past a couple boat yards/ marina's on the left.Then the road ends if you go left, you drive right down the ramp. At the ramp there's a house on the left with a dock that's owned by an old guy with an old whaler-nice guy.On the right, it leads into another set of docks on the right and on the left are some flats where people clam.Across form this ramp, they were working on this house that looked like a lighthouse reproduction.If you keep going right past the docks, there is a bridge about 1/4 mile down.It's a pretty nasty ramp.Oh, hell John - I'm just gonna have haul it up there and show you this spring!

Yep, that's the one! I remember the old timer well. He was chuckling as I backed the trailer down the ramp. I couldn't see my partner as he couldn't hold the boat in that current. We managed to get the boat on the trailer sideways, tied the bow to the winch and I pulled the truck forward and my partner gunned it right onto the trailer. PS- We found the good ramp the next day, the one with the low bridge!
