Well heck, I ain't setting my chartplotter to statute miles - it'll take
forever to get anywhere! However, if you want to use the Atlantic
Intracoastal Waterway as a beverage dispenser, be my guest.

Rob and List,

Sorry to disagree with you, but the Charts of the Great Lakes use  
STATUTE Miles (not Nautical Miles) for distances and Feet (not  
Fathoms) for depths.  I would hope than anyone actually doing the  
America's Great Loop Cruise would be knowledgeable enough to know the  
difference between Nautical miles (6080 feet) versus Statute miles  
(52870 feet) distances.
