Gunkholing: The “Head of The Bay” in the Off-Season
Now living in the area known as “The Head of the Bay,” meaning Buzzards Bay, has proved to be wonderfully eye opening.
gunk’holing is the art of getting a boat into any small shallow cove, forbidden to boats of deeper draft and out again, without running aground much over a dozen times

Editor’s Note: Brian prepared this column for what would have been our April issue (before we combined the issue with May due to global paper shortages). Thus some of the images may appear slightly out of season, but of course in New England, you never know what Mother Nature may have in store for us. – JW
