C'mon, you're supposed to be a professional?

It's Furuno not Furano!

Since Jeff had asked, this morning on an inbound I paid close attention to the
radar, using the 3cm set, rather than the 10cm.
Ship was about 560' with a 90' beam, radar, somewhat aft.
Going down the entrance channel, I at no time lost sight of the buoys as I
passed them (on radar ... lost them visually from centerline, G) and was also
able to watch a tug come alongside forward and still see him when he was
alongside (although his target was a blended hump on the side of own ship).
BTW, you do get a picture of your own ship, fwd of the scanner, especially when
the radar is aft.
So, in this case, I would have to say that the small boat could be seen until
it was hit, but this particular radar setup I know, was, above average in it's
picture (a Furano) and is not always the case.
