A few things: Bouy 10 coords/Nav charts..

[photofishn]

Can someone give me the coords or offical name/# for the famous Bouy 10?

I would also like to find the Chart # or Name(s) of Nav chart(s) of the mouth of the Columbia as well as the "Willapa bay". Were is a place I can buy one/them around the Ilwaco area?

Also, is there a NOAA(or other site) that give RealTime wave/swell heights , winds and forcasts for the same area? I had a link for hte East Coast, but can not find it now.

Not many of these laying around in Arizona. Any help would be welocme.

Here is the weather site. http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/wrhq/getCoords.pl

On the right click on the Buoy you want to check. Maybe some else has a better site? Cant help on the charts.

Missed the Lat/Lon part...I'll pull up the positioning data for you also...If you can plot down to .*** (thousands!) YOU ARE GOOD!!! images/icons/smile.gif Just as a "Did you know?" EVERY buoy and light is positioned to determine accuracy. 4 years ago, the CG swiched from sextants to a DGPS/Computer system. We now position these Aids within 3 meters. I do this stuff almost daily....and the interface would BLOW your mind!!!! Forget the X-15!!!! images/icons/smile.gif Now, if I had my own boat....and 15 grand for this setup.... (And it travels in a suitcase sized Pelican case!!!)

Thanks Torchman. I trying to get an idea what/where you are all talking about. I have never been to the area before. This is my first trip to SE WA.

I got "an invite" from a kind soul on this forum for a possible day of fishing when I come up for a vacation in a few weeks.

I am the type of fisherman that researches everything I can get my hands on, including Nav charts/waypoints before I go.

Then all this comes back home with me and goes into the "Fishing/Guide/Places" file cabinet for future reference.

I will admit that its "kind of anal" to go to this much trouble for 1 day of fishing, but I have a GREAT file compiled from the last 10 years.

Thanks Again.

There are a couple of other map/chart sites that I can't find at this time. Must be on the computer at work.

Try these numbers:

Buoy

10 - 46 15.289 124 03.214
8 - 46 15.039 124 04.745
6 - 46 14.307 124 05.824
4 - 46 13.616 124 06.844
2 - 46 12.799 124 08.073
CR - 46 11.017 124 11.008

Sorry, it took so long. Had to look them up on the computer at work.
