Show Record location. You always find plenty of water on the outside of a bend It is when you cross from one bend to the other that you have trouble in locating the channel. When you come into a bar you feel the pull of the rudders easing up and edge along and come to deep water; by the sense of touch you can wind on through and find the channel; otherwise, if you hold your rudder stiff, 3446 you would run aground. I have no shallow draft boat at the present time; my boat draws, I should judge, about twenty inches. H. T.
