Mike,
I have currents built into my Garmin GPS, but there were current charts supplied daily (on paper). The currents in and around the Patuxent swirl in several directions at once. Finding the tide lines was difficult, as there weren’t many surface irregularities. Local knowledge was a key factor, the rest was luck.

The last course was set in the mouth of the Patuxent River. The current and wind were pretty squirrelly. The current charts were useless, as they would show the current flowing in both directions at the same time near the same spot. We had to rely on our own observations of the current. There weren’t many crab pots to use either (go figure, the one time I need them). We had a great time at the regatta, although participation was way down from last year. I hope to see more entries next year. For once, we had good wind on all three days. That’s a rarity on the Chesapeake in July… Jake From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Joel Aronson Sent: Wednesday, July 24, 2013 7:38 AM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Stus-List Congrats Jake and Pat Brodersen continued their winning ways, taking first place in the Screwpile regatta with 5 firsts, a 2nd and a meaningless 4th in the last race. Way to go!! -- Joel _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com
