If you use "lots and lots" of waypoints, you may run out, and that is

Yes, and there's really no reason for "lots and lots" of waypoints in
open water. A glance at your Cross Track Error (XTE) once in awhile
will tell you if you're being set to one side. As long as Course Made
Good is matching up with Bearing to Waypoint, that shouldn't happen
anyway.
That's why I suggested you use them strategically, so you only load the
areas of risk, not "open" water legs.
As for "run out of them" that's why nearly all the gps seem to give you
a very high number of available waypoints for each route, even so you
can break the passage into several 'routes" if needs be.
Never cease to be amazed that this common knowledge category basic
stuff is all new to you blokes or worse you try to argue against it!!!
