Yep, I've been through a couple of times, and bumped something each time. Submerged logs seem to be a problem. No real damage as about 5 knots will probably be as fast as you will go. There is a canal that cuts off about half way. You could take a dinghy up there to look it over. Since we moved so slowly through there it was enough to see everything. One day is about all I want of it.
