Portsmouth Packraft Paddling

Piscataqua River- New Castle Island to west of Rt 95 Bridge, then back to circumnavigate New Castle, with stops to stretch my legs on Leaches Island, Fort Stark, and the point near the power plant west of Rt 95 bridge.   A little cargo ship was pushed into the pier right in my path. Don't I have the right of way!?    I have fun riding the tugboats backwash as I go around. 11 miles, 8 hours, (about 6 hours paddling). Timed to paddle with the tidal flow in both directions.
