I probably saw more lobster buoys when I studied each one intently as
I passed to see if there was any current change to account for than I
will when I'm just checking the GPS track.

OTOH, my new boat is going to be a warp catcher so I'll be looking for
them.

=================================

Nicely put Roger. I started cruising on small boats back in the 70s
when an RDF was high tech, and we always went everywhere we wanted
to
go, including Maine and the fog. The new gadgets are great however
and they have their own rewards, not the least of which is always
knowing exactly where you are. That leaves more time for other
things
like looking out for the lobster pots.
