This one was a 6' tall blonde. Very pretty but
she never had to develop a personality.

Sometimes, in some places, the water is so shallow that the
bottom actually sticks up above the surface.

Something wrong with that?

Nothing at all. Once you go black you never go back! Besides,
Negro women appreciate any real man, even if they have to settle
for a Caucasian guy. It seems most Negro men are too irresponsible
to marry, settle down, get a job and actually support their offspring.
They'd rather hang out, listen to hip hop rap crap, deal drugs, play
'bassaball' and chase 'tang.

Neal is a racist, so for him it is a problem.

A lake I sail on added a dam that raised the water level 3 feet. So the
easy answer to where the shoals are is: "the shoals are where the
islands used to be."

While sailing thru an area of innumerable shoals with twisty
channels between them (and current, of course), my wife once
made a remark I considered hysterically funny at the time,
but have since realized was very wise:

"Good thing it's low tide, now we can see where the shallow
spots are."

In a given harbor, what general rule often determines
where the shoals are? Explain your answer. [1 pt]


In a harbor you look for different surface condition, Shorter wave
lengths, no waves, ect, waves on top of shallows are usually of a
shorter wave length and higher, or you may see calm in a shallow vs
waves in other areas.

WTF Bart?

You never read Life on the Mississippi by Mark Twain?

He has the best descriptions you will ever find of how to reconize
shallows, snags, silting, deep water, ect. He describes running the
mississippi at night like a man remembers how to walk down a hall in
his house in the pitch dark. My descriptions of shallows match Samuels
descriptions to a tee. You read the surface and notice very subtile
differences of how the water is effected by things below the surface.

One problem, Joe. Mark was talking about a river, with
strong current. Bart was talking about a harbor.

River

Harbor

Note that there are two seperate & different words, because
they are seperate & different things. Mark Twain had some
comments about this issue, too.
