Re: Gps vs radar
Fr. Frank,
That is a very interesting point, and I had never heard of it.
One of the boats we did see on our little "adventure" was a commercial high speed ferry that was running about 15-20+ knots through the fog that morning. He knew where we were and all the other boats, so he felt comfortable, be we and the other boats without radar had the @#%* scared out of us as he appeared and vanished in no time flat. Not a cool feeling!
PS. That winter he had a Raymarine C-80 installed with auto-pilot. We have a lot more confidence now, but we use it as an assist and not as a 'fool-proof" asset. It has exhibited a number of quirky behaviors.
