Default Re: Gps vs radar

Man, I could have used some radar last Sunday. I experienced the worst squall line in my boating career(Unforecasted by the way. Coast Gaurd had a hectic day for sure); total white out and unbelievable wind. I was in a very familiar, relatively protected area less than 2 miles from the ramp. It was so bad I couldn't even see my gps screen clearly. I chose to anchor up and sit there for 3 hours!! Luckily I was only in 4' of water. Radar would have done nothing for me in that circumstance as there was nothing to see. No markers but lots of bars. Sometimes you just gotta sit it out [img]/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
