Radar and Basic Nav.
This is not a safe attitude.
It is, to my mind, safer than the alternative of going out with only a
partial understanding of traditional nav.
You shouldn't go anywhere until you can read and understand paper charts. I
think you'll find that most sailors will agree.
You can do far better with a 20 dollar chart and handheld compass than you can
with a 500 dollar GPS.
