Definitely keep comming!
I never go into the Channel on big holidays, may slide through on weekends and stop if I'm meeting someone. If I do stay in then Channel, it is usually during the week more then anything. If they close the Channel, I probably wouldn't even notice or care.
I like going to spots that many don't even know about and other spots that many do know about. I will say that when I do stop in the Channel, I enjoy watching the boats, seeing what's new and the different styles.
What I get a kick out of is watching from Thompson Bay, the boats that launch out of the marina, go directly to the Channel, beach and just stay most of the day. Cracks my a$$ up!!
