Thank you for the feed back, I don’t always trust what google maps names items vs what it’s actual called by locals or really is in reality. I would use the term safe route loosely when traveling at night. The reason I say this is I graphed using two plotters, I usually only use one and when going back there was a significant difference between the two tracks. Made me second guess is it truly safe route for crab pots and objects in place. Hadn’t notice an issue like this before, but will be checking them against each other in the future. Houses on the Slidell side are on the list, but will launch from the pointe vs making the run from Lake Catherine to minimize distance to travel, full moon on Saturday so that will help with visibility, and weather predicted, never know.

No worries, there are some nice systems out there, let us know what you find, post some pics.

Thank you, Vexus AVX 2080 w/ 200Sho. She does good for an aluminum boat, if she was fiberglass boat there would be a lot more dock rash than what she has now, as operator error occurs on a regular bases. So what I put together for my graph was left over material from teaching my self how to tig weld aluminum and building a crawfish cooker and gas tank. I am by no means a welder or expert fabricator, I just like tinkering in the shop. Still have enough material laying around if you want to make something for your boat, just throwing it out there.

Would something like what I have in the pictures work? That’s $50 in material and a can of spray paint.

Happy Easter!

Sherman,
Have you tried dropping the coordinates into Goole earth pro an d build a folder to save them in. From there you can convert to usr file. I did it for the BYU Eloi and uploaded screen shot to make sure that is the correct location. If you don’t know how to use Google Earth Pro, there is a section if I remember right in Inshore 101 that covers how to and YouTube videos to cover it.

I have used the main st launch with no issue 20ft aluminum bass boat. I have not used the one almost to the end on lake road, but looking at it from the water and boats I have seen there you should have no issues there as well. Good luck
