Back when I was living the cruising life (and I so fervently wish that it had gone on forever!) we would use an 8' line with 1' markers and a small mushroom anchor at the end to explore for suitable anchorages in far away places with strange sounding names.
Being older, sadder, and hopefully wiser, I now want to do the same thing again, even though the First Mate jumped ship. But I figure that the technology has probably changed, and that there must now be a better way to do it.
All of which is by way of asking if there are any suggestions for a battery-operated depth indicator which can be hand carried in a dinghy. Doesn't have to be precise.
