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

Synopsis for Stonington ME to Merrimack River Ma out to 25 NM. Low pressure lingers across the Canadian Maritimes through midweek, keeping a persistent northwesterly flow across the region. An area of low pressure moves eastward into the Gulf of Maine Wednesday night and strengthens as it moves into New Brunswick on Thursday. High pressure builds from the west behind this low, with westerly gales possible late in the week. The high settles across the waters next weekend as a storm develops off the Carolina coast.

Synopsis for Stonington ME to Merrimack River Ma out to 25 NM. Low pressure lingers across the Canadian Maritimes through midweek, keeping a persistent northwesterly flow across the region. An area of low pressure moves eastward into the Gulf of Maine Wednesday night and strengthens as it moves into New Brunswick on Thursday. High pressure builds from the west behind this low, with westerly gales possible late in the week. The high settles across the waters next weekend as a storm develops off the Carolina coast.
