Prior to starting the Loop we always used Knots while cruising the Chesapeake. It works well with the paper charts and cruising guides. When you enter the rivers, Canadian water and ICW the charts and cruising guides are all statute miles. Its easier to shift the plotter over to Mile rather than do the mental gymnastics converting the data.
