The only depth problem I've ever noticed with our Monk 36 happens if you try 
to cut the corners too closely. If the current is running hard out on the 
C&D Canal take a wide swing when entering, otherwise the side drift during 
your turn will give you trouble.

Also for smallish vessels, say less than 34', with skilled helmspersons, 
there is more city dockage than just the face dockage on the western end of 
the basin. There are also about 3 very nice slips, not part of the marina, 
tucked away in the southwestern corner of the basin. Advise reconnoitering 
before attempting.
