You rely on high tech too much.
A temp guage gives instant recognition of the current
only within 2 feet of your boat. the satelite shows the water temp
variations
for as far as might care to know. Just in case you want to take advantage of
conditions "over there a bit"
True, although we log temp every 10 minutes or so to ensure we stay
right in the guts of it after we find it.
Even the eddies will work for us when travelling against the normally
south flow.
Heh. I have a SeaSpace Corp Terascan system, another bit of gear Jax
has no hope of comprehending. I'm sure he'd like the pretty coloured
pictures tho.
Too much to do to spend time here for a while, I've just got my second
30' workboat back from Antarctica and it needs a solid field test
before we put it in the shed for a refurb. Have fun and now it's spring
in the Northern Hemisphere, how about going sailing instead of bitching
on the net?
