The Water has to be on the right!

I recently discovered the joy of tracing coasts. But i probably made the beginners mistake of tracing the coasts the wrong way. Doing so i follded good parts of Sumatra. Now I want to correct my errors, the server is down. ;-(

I find it much easier to remember it as land is on the left, as both start with L!

I just remember that my right boot has a split in it*, so I always have a wet right foot as it's in the water as I walk round the lake/coast/riverbank.

(*Actually, so does my left boot now, so I may find it harder to remember in future!).

As long as there are no victims to the flood ...

hehe@donald. You know you could actually walk with your GPS in the other direction. It's only the 'way' arrows which need to be 'water-on-the-left' :-)

Land-on-the-left sorry Land-on-the-left! You've got me confused now.

By the way, another lesser known rule is that the way should (ideally) be positioned at the average high tide line. In most places we don't manage to follow this though, because most places are based on PGS import or Yahoo aerial imagery.
