Mindbender

By George Day · On September 14, 2021

What’s a “pig stick” and where would you find one on your sailboat?

 

Send your answers to cruisingcompass@bwsailing.com. A winner will be selected randomly from the correct answers and will win a one-year subscription to the digital version of Blue Water Sailing magazine.

 

Congratulations to Stanley DeJong, Naples, FL, who correctly answered last week’s Mindbender. “A marine depth sounder or transducer sends energy pulses or signals from the thru-hull to the bottom and then records the time it takes for the signal to return to the transducer. With a simple calculation, it divides the time in half and converts that to the measured depth.”
