You're joking of course. You're telling me that you rely
on GPS as the only aid to navigation? There are many
charts that are not accurate and haven't been so for years
with no updates available.

Were did you dig up this crap Jon??? Learn how to enter correct datum and
save yourself further embarrassment.

It's a good thing both you and Neal sail in protected waters with line of
sight navigation or there would be a lot less boats around.

| Good Morning Simple,

finders

5mph

Nice
