8 fathoms? For this part of the world, thats seriously deep. Sailing
from Clearwater to St. Marks last time I dont think the depthsounder
ever read over 10 fathoms. Deepest I see between Cedar Key and Tarpon
Springs is about 4 fathoms. There is no traffic here.
I may do it thsi weekend.
With shallow water like that, why not sail until sunset and then anchor
for the night. Make sure you have an anchor light and a radar reflector.
Radar with an alarm would be a real nice addition.
Put out lots of rode....maybe 7 to 1 (175 feet)
