Concerning using lead lines, I'm reminded of going into San Quintin bay
in Baja California some years ago. The entry was a bit spectacular,
having to go diagonally between two lines of breakers. We then started
heaving the lead line, since the depth sounder was out. But then we saw a
whale headed out right beside us, and I reasoned that he had a deeper
draft than we did, and he could see where he was going, so I knew we were
in the channel. Better than the lead line. We made it in without
incident, and chatted with the crew of another boat who had taken an
hour's ride in their dinghy to get a pilot. The went aground only twice.
