As to darkness, nonsense. That's why vessels have running
lights.

When was the last time you saw a rock with running lights ... ?

When was the last time you saw a submerged [sic] rock on radar?

Who said anything about "submerged"?

I did. To make a point. Rather effective, no?

It is left as an exercise for the reader to determine the
effectives of this form of logic ...

understood it the first time around.] For Kerry here's the Dick and
Jane version.

Monosyllabic words do not strengthen a fallacious argument, "Dave," but your
ad hominem attack style is quite good. At least a B+ (an A- had you
correctly identified the individual under attack).

BTW, how did you get "x no archive" disguised in the header? Clever.

no, shun, I do know what I said. I just grew tired of repeating it for your
feeble mind. It is up to you to learn, no up to me to hammer something into
your mind against your wishes.

shun, you are babbling. Go back and reread the posts. Like Ragu, it's in
there.

That pretty well sums it up. You don't know what he said, don't understand
what
he said, and obviously know nothing about radar observing.
BTW, he was not talking about flat calm seas and was talking about radar you
would have on a recreational boat, as was Steve.
The only one babbling here is you, but, that's all you've ever done or will
do,
in these groups.

hey shun, he only *thinks* he is talking about water with seas, but he is
not.
He is, in fact, talking about flat water. That he is ignorant of that
fact
in
no way changes that fact.

go back to sleep, shun.


LOL Which is it, you don't know enough about or have used radar enough to
understand how one might see a reef line or a low lying (or even awash)
rock,
on radar with a sea running? Or are you assuming that since it's beyond
you're
limited knowledge, it's impossible and can't be happening?

Think about the binocs with bearing compass again.
They work both ways -
By which I mean,
you can get a bearing if you are force to actually navigate (some I do
by either force of habit of five+ decades on the water or maybe even
genetic), or
if you should be looking for something that the little box says
is at such bearing and eyes can't pull it out of the dark or haze - grab
the binocs and go to the bearing - usually - once I have found it the
first time it is easy the next.

Indeed a useful thing. We have used a compass/7X50 for over 20 years.
Wouldn't be without it.
