You're the only person (so far) to be

Not the only one. I share your concerns, even though my '70s C&C has a
pretty thick solid laminate by today's standards. I was wondering if
anyone hit the MOB button on the GPS...it's a good way to get the fix
immediately, but the crew or rather the navigator has to know to do
it.

I don't mind wind and waves, but I''m anal enough about low, heavy
crap in the water that I've called in twelve foot logs and floating
picnic tables off Toronto from a Zodiac to the Coast Guard at dawn
with a GPS fix...and heard it in the next radio Notice to Mariners G

What I was doing in a Zodiac at dawn off Toronto is another story.
