They make a faint but distict, crispy sound. Check it out at the next dock piling. They even react to your approach!Dave Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13241033623115158564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580987459140037495.post-82903624694254602262011-12-28T08:24:17.487-09:002011-12-28T08:24:17.487-09:00Water is a great locator along the Inside Passage....Water is a great locator along the Inside Passage. We use the sound of waterfalls and creeks often. They can provide an LOP, and (in some conditions) a distance off.<br /><br />In heavy fog, we like to anchor off the mouth of a creek. We can always find the boat, returning from a row, by listening for the water.<br /><br />That and pinpointing a steep creek for water... very hard to spot with the eyes.Dave Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13241033623115158564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580987459140037495.post-88488412891337268642011-12-27T22:04:53.277-09:002011-12-27T22:04:53.277-09:00I don't remember where I read it, but the soun...I don't remember where I read it, but the sound waterfalls made along Chatham Straight were used as navigation aides. I often listen to them and can tell a difference between each one. I was amazed to hear them over 5 miles away. Must try these new listening techniques on them.Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00223209875852939186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580987459140037495.post-62866411921141681022011-12-27T21:43:42.824-09:002011-12-27T21:43:42.824-09:00Great info....relevant to many more situations the...Great info....relevant to many more situations then straining to hear a coral reef on a moonless night. Tried it just sitting here: computer fan immensely louder. Didn't get a lot from the third cavity but if it was a coral reef situation think I'd try the whole list at once. May alert me to the sound of the wifes stealthy frying pan coming up behind me too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
