Never "wondered" around a rocky channel with compass and "knotmeter" in fog.
However, used to frequently run a winding channel in fog with a compass,
tach,
and watch, with no problems .... does that count?

only in the stew ped department, shen. only in the stew ped dept.

you dumb squat, you have no idea how lucky you were. like the drunk driver
who
made it home through traffic.


Only an idiot would discount luck, totally, but there's a difference between
relying on luck alone and using ALL the information available to get the job
done.
Since you are a product of GPS, I would not expect you to understand how this
could be done regularly with less danger than allowing YOU to run the same
channel WITH a GPS on a clear day.
