    And go across the reef! I've had two owners do that because they weren't bright enough to realize the cartography on a chartplotter can be 1/4- 1/2 mile off. I've seen where the boat was going across dry land on the chartplotter screen, when I was in the middle of the ships channel in Key West. Heck, half of the time coming down the Tenn-Tomm it showed the vessel going across land instead of being in the middle of the river like we were.

    I know a have dozen harbors, rivers and nooks that will put you on dry land following the chartplotters just in this area and it's wonderful. It keeps us working.:cool:

    couple of weeks ago in Bimini i stopped a guy from getting on the shoal/reef in a Pershing 50... he was 1/4 to 1/2 mile off the channel, probably following his plotter...
