Advice would be greatly appreciated before I do something foolhardy. Any
words of warning regarding time of year and weather? This would be
undertaken on a Ranger 26', preferably staying within sight of the coast.

Thanks,

Mick



Just a little dumb thing I did early in my navigation career. I had a
chart guide where the change of pages was right in the middle of the P.V.
Peninsula, well I set a GPS waypoint a little off shore of the point
without realizing there are actually 2 points. I rounded the point and the
GPS showed direct Dana Pt right through land. Well I'm lucky it wasn't
foggy so I could realize my mistake before I ran aground. Be careful if
you're using the same guide Kirk.
