That story makes me think back before we had a depth finder. Me and my Dad would fly around in the back bays without giving a second though to how deep the water was in certain areas. When we finally got a depth finder and went over those same areas we just gave each other that look like holy crap we were lucky :o
Anyone who has boated in the back waters of NJ know what I'm talking about. There are channels which seem to literally be 10' wide and bays where the water is down to less than a foot at low tide.
