Description:
We taxied in displacement mode for 7.5 miles until Rolf's depth finder showed the bottom coming up fast to meet us. Not wanting to be washed onto shore, we turned out again and picked our way south until the breakwall north of the inlet hove into view. (That's making it sound easy. Actually, we had to feel our way in the fog at about 1 or 2 knots. This was the only really tricky part of the whole voyage--finding the breakwall and lighthouse without running into them. The lighthouses' lights weren't lit, and we couldn't hear their puny foghorns because of the headsets.) We hooked around the lighthouse at the end and turned into the channel.
This is from my Lowrance Airmap 500 GPS display, photographed several days later, showing my trail as the dark line.
You can see where we landed and then taxied northwest to the inlet. At 4 knots, it took about two hours to get there.
Unfortunately, the inlet and the channel don't appear on the GPS map. (I didn't have the marine database.) That line that looks like the channel is my trail as we taxied up it after finding it.
