Kind of like Bobsprit.....

Who?

The big dumpy guy that buffs hulls with an industrial grade grinder in NYC.

BTW- I have found out that people who do not use their
sounder very much
while sailing ...generally are much more attentive to
their chart and
charted soundings.. ergo less likely to hit bottom as
often. It's just a
personal observation.


My sounder doesn't work half the time, so I leave it off. I
find that I give lots more room to bars/reefs than maybe I
need to. So what.

Yes Sir! .. there is nothing more Manly than sailing using only your
ability to read the wind, the water and the boat.
I laugh at the neck craners keeping an eye on the indicator at the mast
head... the instrument gawkers who constantly flick between instruments.
The shavers who press tight to foul ground following the limits of their
instrument read-outs!
