Re: Another foundering how do chart plotters get it wrong

Mark, I'm getting the impression nothing will convince you to concede anything at all. And when you intentionally use his comment about a four year degree to further the dispute, it is pretty obvious...

Re: Another foundering how do chart plotters get it wrong

I recently had my mooring tackle lifted and inspected. When they put it back they put it back in the wrong place, which would have it hitting another yacht. My club had it then lifted again and out...

If that's the case then there being a bit 'nick picking' :biggrin: though I can see why.

Re: Another foundering how do chart plotters get it wrong

Strawman is a kind of argument of which many on here probably wouldn't even know about if it wasn't for an episode of 'The Big Bang Theory'.

Re: Another foundering how do chart plotters get it wrong

This is a good article on Australian charts.
It seems to me that the official advice is the best advice.

Make sure you have paper charts.
Don't rely solely on electronic charts, nor solely...

:thumb: got ya.

If I keep a track on a paper chart by using the gps locations off the gps, I should be right shouldn't I? As long as the chart has correct detail.
