Doug's Rules of Draft

According to Doug, if I indicated that a vessel's draft of "7' +" is a
problem, I've failed to be clear? Most people would assume this to
mean: And draft 7 feet or more is problematic.
Oh, but not Doug! He needed to know that the + sign indicated 5" (or
so) lest everyone be confused!
So, folks...please be very very exact when talking about draft and
please don't talk about draft/load variations. There's only so much the
poor guy can take!

So what is the salinity of the water for the specified draft?
How much does the draft increase when traveling up fresh water rivers?
How is the difference between fresh and salt water draft related to
prismatic coefficient?
Praise!
