We got to be a security boat for the tall ship festival yesterday in Cleveland. Our boat made it on the news last night.

That must be something to see underway-

Awesome @tonystoy !!

Doing some lake boating today... I can get into it and enjoy it.. I think it would probably get a little mundane after a bunch of times out, the fresh water is very nice though!!

Placed a half order with Hill Marine 

Will have a spare set I suppose!

aero3113

Is there another overlay you can use that gives more depths?!

YYZRC

There was a rock in my path! A foot to the left and I would have been fine.

That sucks. Where abouts? I used to be able to click on a pic on the forum and expand it. Maybe it's my new phone but can't seem to do it anymore.
Had a similar experience my first trip up the Severn to Midland. Came out of the Green Island narrows into Waubashene Bay and my chartplotter shows a secondary route across to Beausoleil Island rather than heading towards Midland and cutting back. Saw another boat in front of me, a local I think, so decided to save time with the shortcut. I swear I was right on the nav line, on plane at about 26 mph and as we approached Ross Shoal I caught something out of the corner of my eye. Looking back in my wash I saw we missed a jagged tooth sticking up that I missed by about 5 feet. Would have torn the hull open for sure. I chopped the throttle and when we settled I looked around and we were surrounded by rocks just below the surface. I idled all the way back staying on my track in until we made it back out to the main channel. I still sometimes get a little butt pucker when I think of that day. There are no short cuts in Georgian Bay.

Coming out of Frying Pan Bay.  Luckily we were under 2000 rpm just enjoying the evening.  Wasn't paying enough attention.

 Yikes!!  You navigated some skinny water there!

Willhound

Yeah, that route doesn't even show on Navionics but it did on my Humminbird Hot Maps chip, as well as the paper charts. Not much of a channel.

Grahamu

The rock shows up on my Navionics chart.

Willhound

It shows on @YYZRC 's Sinead too, but fainter.

YYZRC

The charts only work if you look at them

Finally caught a swarm of wild bees. I'll let them get established in this box for a couple days then move the racks into the main hive. 

Dream_Inn

I remember in my younger days when I'd be catching swarms.  I raised bees, but also my neighbors did as well. So, when we saw a swarm, we had to try to figure out which hive was getting raided by another queen.  I don't miss those days!
