shen? have you *ever* in your life seen a chart, even once?


obviously not.

right.

I understood the first day (Again, you're too stupid to realize that
possibility) .... I just didn't comment until now.

otn




...... And it WAS typically Jaxass stupid.

BTW, Jax, anyone running that far offshore, heading for St. Aug., is asking
to
find the Gulf Stream (I'd bet most ship traffic [s-bound] was inshore of
you.)
More than likely, you found the "stream", not an eddy (no way to know for
sure
with the info you have supplied), considering your direction of set.

You've mentioned these rocks at Cape Hatteras before. Why aren't they shown
on
any chart?


they are, jeffies. you just gotta learn how or read English.

Well, here's one version of the chart - show me where there are rocks.

Here's a different chart; no rocks there either.

Maybe he's thinking of Bird Island?

No, Pamlico Sound can be a pain North to South unless you're shallow draft.
There's no sense in going inside at that point.

Jax is referring to Diamond Shoals which are easily avoided in good weather by
going outside of the lighthouse. There are no rocks in the area.

two things. a.) the markers are there to mark things you can hit, and b.) I
remember many, many more lights for two or three or four or more hours while we
were going through at night. I remember at one point we were within 20 seconds
of turning around because we couldn't see the next light, when I saw it,
followed by maybe 10 seconds later by the owner, who was a career merchant
marine and had a couple decades racing offshore.

jeffies, if you don't think there weren't things to hit and break up a boat
there, certainly the owner of the boat did. And avoiding the Gulf Stream to
the east was the reason we were in so close.

jeffies, guys in training wheels don't normally even think of rounding
Hatteras, predictions of a flat calm or not.

Those may be "tings ta hits" but they are not rocks. The only reason someone
would claim there are rocks there is if they never were there at all. Of
course, its also possible you were hiding down below, scared ****less at the
thought of passing Hatteras. Or maybe you were hanging over the side. One
thing is for sure, you weren't navigating!
