On a trip to Hawaii I had two GPS units completely fail and a third just

was on the planet. For a good start I had maintained an accurate DR plot
and so had a good start point when the 'lights went out'.

If you want real backup take the time and trouble to become acquainted

real navigation. Each type and style blah blah blah.


A good sailor NEVER runs out of beer, rum, or batteries.

I don't spend my money on food. I spend most of my money
on women, porn, booze, and recreation. The rest of it I just waste.
