But you yourself admitted that leaving with weak batteries was a

The failing was nothing more than an anoyance...didn't effect the
trip at all.

I didn't say that it affected the trip. But with a newbie navigator, I would
have thought that some sort of backup that was better than 'failing
batteries' would have been prudent. I seem to recall that you thought that
as well. Can you appreciate that there's a difference between 'preparation'
and 'hindsight'?
