I suggest you use fathoms as I bet the charts you use are in fathoms.
That's interesting. Does that mean that Canadian charts have soundings marked in fathoms? I sailed to Cape Breton with my family once, but don't remember that detail about Canadian charts. I guess we've been through this before, but US charts have soundings in feet - except for the offshore charts which are still, I believe, marked in fathoms.
