It was a complete thought.
Perhaps not a complete and proper sentence.

I supposed I assumed too much about the audience and understanding radar and the
subject of the thread....


real live story:

We were sailing off the coast of mexico on a 27' Santana, equipped with radar,
we noticed a some logs, so we went further west. This was in about 1989 or so.
It with my college buddy Dave; it was his boat; the boat was blue; it had new
sails old motor.

as we went further west, the radar was clear and we went down below for
something to eat.
that's when we felt the crunch. and the boat stop moving. and the water coming
in.

Coast guard found it.. it was 1' under the surface, sometimes bobbing up to the
surface.

There is NO WAY a radar an find anything underwater.
And if you set it so sensitive that a log is spotted, well then waves & swells
will probably trigger it off from time to time.

not if they're submerged just below the surface....


Please speak in complete thoughts, and maybe even cite real life examples to
support your claim that this could even happen.

Thank you
