Offshore Wrecks

[Avenger]

Great.

After I dredge up an old Loran chart, plot the thing, and cross check the lat lon because the Loran chart doesn't have great wreck info, I come here to post my accomplishment, and probably advertise that I'm a bit of a hoarder and what do I find?

You couldn't even give it a day, could you.

On the plus side, NOAA has a converter, which I know isn't that precise, but now I can convert the old man's notebooks a little more easily.

Speaking of the old LORAN C charts, remember this, the old Carmark Sportfishing chart?

This was our go-to back in the day.

Matty I still stare endlessly at that chart!

LOL, I do the same thing. I love studying all the contours, and developing a plan.

In this photo on the right you will see the “regular size” chart, and to the left a much larger one. I had our art department at Conair blow it up, and laminate it. It has both sides, both inshore and offshore. I kept one, and gave one to Larry to use for his seminars. It has been rolled up for quite a while and was difficult to straighten out to lay flat.
