Good point. Also some depth finders have an offset adjustment that can be set to account for their placement off the centerline (keel) of the boat. The displayed reading is the measured distance +/- the offset adjustment. Perhaps Jidge's DF adjustment is set waaaaaay off ???
FWIW : a friend of mine related a similar story some years back refering to what he called the docks at Shibleys. Perhaps he really meant the waiting dock ???
