Hey, I got on the Garmin website to look at their shait, and they have displays of their various software map packages that you can cruise through to look at details - real cool. But I noticed one thing right off - they do not have any jetties or breakwaters on their maps. Not even the Columbia or Grays Harbor jetties that have been there over 100 years, and not even the breakwater at Neah Bay - I mean, if it was foggy and you didn't know what you were doing it tells you that it's wide open between Waadah Island and Koithleh Point eek Now what's the deal with that confused

Last fall I was fishing the south channel of Grays Harbor in the evening - this is a place I know real well - and the fog wind crept up on me - bad enough that I was navigating pretty much by feel and depth sounder and was amazed I made it back to Aberdeen at all. One of the reasons I want one of these! But that night a boat fishing the ocean didn't make it - cracked into the north jetty at high speed, blew up and killed them all. I figured they must have punched in some bogus GPS coordinates, but now I wonder if they were following one of these Garmin maps? Anyway, do the other companies bother to include jetties in their software, or is this just a plot by PETA to euthanize all us cruel fishermen rolleyes

The fishing was GREAT! The catching could have used some improvement however........
