On a trip to Hawaii I had two GPS units completely fail and a third just
died for lack of enough batteries. Not to worry even with some rust to dust
off my cursory skills I found when cross checking with a passing ship my
poor celestial skills had me located fairly close on the chart to where I
was on the planet. For a good start I had maintained an accurate DR plot
and so had a good start point when the 'lights went out'.

If you want real backup take the time and trouble to become acquainted with
real navigation. Each type and style blah blah blah.

A good sailor NEVER runs out of beer, rum, or batteries.

I don't spend my money on food. I spend most of my money
on women, porn, booze, and recreation. The rest of it I just waste.
