However, my greatest recommendation is for a pair of binoculars with a

No, not a backup for the GPS. I'll use it as a tool for taking
bearings on passing boats-- to see how we are moving relative to one
another. Also, to take bearings of starting lines in races for the
favored end start, etc.


Then I recommend the binos with the built-in compass. I think a hand
held compass would be to inaccurate for these purposes.




I'm Horvath and I approve of this post.
