    Luc,

    The scrub pad reduces the ripples. Waves are scattered in random directions. Like an atoll coral reef smooths seas and swells making the interior like a lake.

    Thanks for the updates. I like your stepwise improvements.
    
    What is the function of the scrub pad? Does it reduce reflections or
    ripples?
