My depth sounder only reads to 500'. At 1.5 miles offshore I'm in over
500' of water depth. How can I chart the bottom contours? Capt.

How can I chart the bottom contours? signed: Over My Head Dear Over My Head, This is a common problem for coastal sounders used in deep water. I suggest you upgrade to a larger more powerful professional grade unit. If this proves not practical just use your advanced knowledge of seastate to confirm your multiple GPS, Sextant and Dead Reckoning Plots. Once you return to the continental shelf your cheapo coastal unit will once again provide confirmation of correct seafloor contours. I have toyed with the idea of using powerful underwater speakers and a sound system approaching the power generated by the unit currently on Bob's boat "Alien"... this could be utilized to scramble the sonar array on passing subs. Once they surface to investigate the cause you can inquire as to the actual depths as they board your vessel. Good Luck and Fair Winds. Capt. Mooron |

If you are just sailing along and not on a Cousteau expedition or =

As long as your depth sounder was working well so = that when you got less than 500 feet it would start working again, = wouldn't that be sufficient? Maybe you could jury rig the thing so that = an alarm would go off when you hit 500 feet again...heaven help you = would not want to miss going into the shallows like that. Or maybe you = like anchoring at the depth? You must have an awfully big anchor locker = to hold that much chain and rode. Don't you get tired hauling it all = back up again?

from you when I enter a thread with questions. Sorry, Mooron. I made my trip, proved it and then gave you nada until Donal arrived and injected proper questioning. He succeed where you failed because he was not so obvious in his trolls. Following the pics, you were firmly on my hook, even to the point of haggling over giving me your e-mail address.

You seem to imply that a night time entry into a developed and well charted
harbour in a protected area is supposed to be a "Challenge" or "difficult"???? Not at all. It was a bit tricky, but not a big deal. On the otherhand, your questions about deviation, currents and topgraphy show, once again that you're a sailor who lacks the grit required ot make a passage of any length and enjoy it. You suggested I keep a log for less than a 150 nm of sailing in a weekend. Nuff said! RB RB |

I've done entries in to uncharted harbours at night ... drunk ... without incident... and considered it child's play! If you sail you vessel "drunk" then you can make no claim to being a good sailor. Doesn't matter if you sail a mile away or 3000. There's nothing cool or manly about a drunken fool at the wheel of a boat. Sorry. Good sailors handle their vessels responsibly. RB |

Not to mention that the moon was in it's last quarter, but still
providing enough ambient light to make it anything BUT pitch black. Port Jeff is not even mildly tricky. No moon was visible between City Island and Port Jeff from 8-2 am. Too overcast. SORRY! Bwahahahaaha! Busted again! RB |
