An old timer on the Columbia River showed me how to read the water by watching the gulls.

He said, 'See where they're diving easy? That's a sandbar you can't see, run your cutter head a meter left of it,' and it saved us a whole day's work.

A meter left of an invisible sandbar? That's some insanely precise advice.

My uncle once gave me directions like that, lee_gibson, and I ended up in a ditch.
