It doesn't sound like the GPS was even slightly at fault in this case.

Err...I don't think anyone suggested anywhere that the GPS itself was at
fault.

could have been the chart's datum ... (?)

This I don't understand. Don't people look outside when driving their boat?
I'd have thought in that area one would be keeping a sharp eye if for no
other reason that to avoid others navigating at high speed, also not looking
outside. Even if people believe their GPS, haven't they ever entered a
waypoint wrong?..oops. Got to take sightings, look for channel markets.
Not too tough really. Reminds me of a saying used alot in the upper Keys on
weekends with the folks from Miami come trooping down..."Have Money, Buy
Boat".

I know everyone screws up now and again, me included.
