Subject: [Paddlewise] Estimating Elevation Without GPS


I was recently paddling from the mothership Songhee in the waters of British
Columbia's Broughton Archipelago.  A fellow paddler, a newcomer to Canada,
inquired of the skipper as to what our elevation might be "......since we
were so far north."  We were standing on the aft deck of this 100 foot long
vessel.  and  the skipper glanced around slowly and very seriously replied  "About 6
feet I should think."
