I feel the reliance on the new technology navigation devices is great.But when the electronics take a dump or can't work,the backup is the baisic navigational skills that every person who takes his or her boat offshore should posess.It is very easy to learn (I have!).A backup is something that can keep you alive.It has worked for me on more than one occasion.The more you know the better off you are.
