Will and Charlie Rboneher of Five Islands narrowly avoided disaster crossing from Boothbay Harbor to sell fish. Their boat shipped two barrels of water mid passage near a long ledge, engine stopped, and heavy seas threatened collision with rocks. They deployed a sail, cleared the rocks, reached Lee's Cove, bailed out water, restarted the engine, and continued to Five Islands. The river was roughest after Dog Fish Head, with the Sheepscat crossing cited as especially hazardous in south winds.
