Fishfinders are great... I have one on my Cal 20. It was less expensive
than a regular digital depthsounder. I'm not sure it would help with
seeing the bottom that much... as it's the cheapest they make. I don't
using need anything other than depth knowledge in the bay, and I don't
need a sounder to tell me, because I know the area well.

Yet you can't get a 40lb CQR to hold???.... Bwahahahahahahahahaaa


This is certainly true, although you can tell. The rope rode tends to
vibrate; whereas, the chain rode chatters. When we were off Green Cay
recently, I showed this effect to one of the crew.

Chain rattle at anchor off Green Cay... Bwahahahahahahahahahaaa


I'm going to be getting some practice backing in the next couple of days.
The Yamaha 30 we have needs to get put away in a different spot, and it's
near impossible to turn it around after it gets to its side-tie. I've done
it before, and it should be good practice.

Bwahahahahahahaaaaaa..... Oh you need the "practise" all right!
