Gord,
Point's well taken, but as Jacques and Guy will attest, we poor gobs up
here in Ottawa are restricted to very thin water - essentially a 25 mile
stretch of river where you're constantly tacking, one minute in 150' of
water 2' from shore, and the next in 2' of water 1000' from the opposite
shore.  Generaly, eyes are glued to the depth sounder.
Yup, my lifting knot log on port tack wreaks havok with my ability to
brag about maximum and/or average speeds!  It's a real toss-up:
incorrect speed info. versus the joys of sitting there on the loo'ard
coaming, toerails awash!
Cheers
Jack
