The Moorings At Little Whale Boat

Rarely get maintained. I used to live in Harpswell just North of Whaleboat Island looking between the Goslings and Little Whale boat. I used to kayak there in the winter and the mooring balls were still up. Most moorings in Maine get "winter sticked" meaning the chain is droped to the bottom and a cedar log is tied to the chain via pot warp. The idea is the chain links don't wear out if they are not chafing on each other and the mud bottom prevents corrosion due to less oxygen. Those moorings were left in year round! With your boat your probably safe but I still prefer to know the condition of what I'm hooking to..
