Are you sure?
Don't keep charts at the house, thus the ''I believe'' . SV "The_navigator©" wrote in message ... No they are not. Read the chart legend Cheers MC Scott Vernon wrote: I believe that charted depths are given at MLW and it's up to the sailor to know the tide table and apply it. |

Found the 'old' chart. It reads '' controlling depths in feet at Mean Low
Water (MLW)''. AND; depths reffered to soundings (MLW)''. Scotty "Scott Vernon" wrote in message ... Are you sure? Don't keep charts at the house, thus the ''I believe'' .

How old is that chart? All of my US charts from the recent past use MLLW as the datum for
soundings. I even checked in my Chesapeake ChartKit to see if they were different. OK - Here's a quiz: What's the meaning of LLWLT? BTW, I thought of commenting on the "8 feet above MLW" also - around here we have 10 foot tides and flooding is measured above MHW "Scott Vernon" wrote in message ... Found the 'old' chart.

If you were going to take the time to look it up, you could have at least said how it is
defined. "Donal" wrote in message ... "Jeff Morris" jeffmo@NoSpam-sv-lokiDOTcom wrote in message ... How old is that chart?

Here (and the UK I believe) it is the "lowest astromical tide". If you
think about it, that is the only sensible datum for a _sounding_! Cheers MC Jeff Morris wrote: If you were going to take the time to look it up, you could have at least said how it is defined.
