An uncharted rock may be always submerged, uncovered at low water (potentially visible on radar) or always uncovered (visible on radar). It's a big world out there and not all places that you may go to have been thoroughly surveyed and not all charts are totally accurate. Stand by my statement. otn |

stand all you want but you ain't gonna see no uncharted rocks under water, nor
uncharted rocks low in the water with any seas running, nor are *you* gonna be anywhere there are uncharted rocks high enough out of the water to be seen on radar. And if you were, why in hell are you going so fast in a fog? dude, you obviously have VERY limited to zero experience with radar. You read too many books.

With seas running, still may .... might pick up added sea return in a specific area .... beyond your experience and knowledge. nor are *you* gonna be anywhere there are uncharted rocks high enough out of the water to be seen on radar. Mebbe not anymore, but definitely in the past. And if you were, why in hell are you going so fast in a fog? Who said I was? dude, you obviously have VERY limited to zero experience with radar. You read too many books. ROFL dude, you don't read enough books. I probably spend more time as radar observer, on my week off, than you do in a year. otn |

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"? -- Good luck and good sailing. s/v Kerry Deare of Barnegat http://kerrydeare.tripod.com |
