Under 3 minutes for most of the faster boats, good eddies for the most part, and no critical places that were unavoidedly shallow. Because of the limited water, I had to follow a fairly restricted path, but it worked well. Lots of positive comments afterward. I drew the map in a cheap CAD program: DesignCad. You can get older versions (V15.3 or 19 recommended) for not much money. The (almost) expensive part was converting to PDF, but I have Acrobat already. Some day I'm going to convert the GPS data (of the shore and rocks) that I took a few years ago to a real scale drawing. What's currently illustrated is just a guess. | ||
