Tuesday, November 9 to Wednesday, November 10, 2021
Problem set for today. Remember to show all your work and to write clearly.
1. What time do we have to leave the Charleston Maritime Center on November 9 to make the 9:30 a.m. opening of the Wappoo Creek Double Bascule Bridge? What speed do we need to average? What are the currents during this part of the trip—in what direction and at what speed?
2. If we make the 9:30 opening, when will we get to the McKinley Washington Bridge?Reports are that there is 65’ of air clearance when the tide is 4.5 feet. What is the greatest amount of tide we can safely transit with our 63.5’ mast height? What time will that be?
3. Once we get under the McKinley Washington, will the tide be high enough to get us over the shallow depths of Watts Cut shortly after the MW bridge?
4. When will we have enough tide to get us through the Ashepoo Coosaw Cutoff on Wednesday morning?
5. When will we get to Lady’s Island Marina in Beaufort (Bew-fr) and can we get those fabulous shrimp and grits again at the Dockside restaurant?
6. What does it say on the water tower at Parris Island, home to the Marine’s infamous boot camp? Answer: We Make Marines
How funny it is, that you think as you get older, less need for math….
