You are correct - she does need two feet of water to pass. Her deepest point is at the stern, so you can approach the shore bow-first if the bottom slopes sharply. Is that what you wondered about? Thank you for commenting and have a great day.
No, I was just watching the chart and you’re depth finder while you were going through some of the tighter passages and they were indicating about a foot of water I thought. That looks like so much fun.
@@stevehoward3981 Ah, I see, thank you for clarifying that. Two reasons: the transducer’s offset value and the tides. At the time, the offset was not set up correctly in software - it is now set to display the water available below the keel. The tide range in Cedar Key is over four feet, the value depicted on the chart is at the mean low. I hope this response clarifies your points. Will you be visiting Cedar Key soon? What is your boat?
Yes that is a very good explanation. Thanks for that. At this point I am boat-less. I was thinking a C-Dory 21 but they are hard to find. I like the Ranger 21 especially with the diesel. I have so much to learn about tides and currents. I hope to do the loop at some point.
@@stevehoward3981 Good to know. The boat is, potentially, available for sale. As they say, the best learning is by doing, so please consider and let me know.
Absolutely gorgeous place for a boater, indeed. The boat serves me surprisingly well so far - she is new to me and the more I use her the more I like her. Thank you for watching and hope to see you in Cedar Key one day!
