5 fathoms? We only have water that shallow in the harbor, and only outside the channel. 2000' water is nine miles from dock.One odd trait I saw and others have confirmed it when the bottom drops below 5 fathoms the speed drops like a rock.

Back in the day the drill was break Cape May inlet and run 150* for 4 1/2 hours to the tip of the Baltimore canyon. Somewhere about 12 miles offshore you could start to see the shape of the lightship in the haze. If you were a halfway decent helmsman it would be about 10* off the port bow.

Thank you for all your positive comments ... much to our disappointment, the boat sold on our trip down to look at her. HOWEVER ... this does not mean the search is over !!

There's one for sale in my marina in San Diego (Kona Kai), she looks gorgeous on the outside.
The broker is Kusler.
