Lowance is an electronic chart display? Cool. I guess if you can see
land you can match things up.

Yes, just punch in your destination and follow the course line to it. But,
you have to watch the depths which are also listed on the electronic chart
to make sure you don't run aground trying to follow a straight line to your
destination. If the depths are dubious just zig and zag the course line and
steer to waypoints to avoid such hazards.

If it weren't for modern conveniences such as these then the likes of a
Bruce in Bangkok, for example, probably would have never gotten out of the
home port harbor. LOL!


Nice aside, but I was navigating the coast of Maine with a magnetic
compass and a Texaco road map before you were weaned.



I'd love to share it with you, but I'm kind of hesitant about sharing
with the whole world... Maybe email me and I'll
send you the link?

I don't blame you. I just sent you an e-mail.
