Bucksport “Black-Out” dates for 2023-2024
Below please find the “Blackout dates” for High Water transits to Bucksport for the 2023-2024 Fall/Winter season. These are the dates on which no high-water transits (drafts in excess of 28') can be conducted to Bucksport due to a lack of daylight coinciding with the time of High Water. Low water transits are still possible on these dates at drafts of 28' or less, depending upon the height of tide. Dates listed as “marginal” may permit a deep draft transit if conditions are favorable; they should not be assumed to be available. Please keep these dates in mind for planning purposes.
March 19- Marginal, wx permitting only
