I've got several routes loaded in my Garmin eTrex Mariner; some down the
middle of the channel and some going from NavAid to Navaid.
Some say you shouldn't use a NavAid as a waypoint. Well, first, I always
have a lookout and second, when relying on radar and GPS to navigate I'm
going slow, and even slower when approaching objects.



what good is a route that you can't follow because you will hit the buoys?

did you make a route to the buoys because for some reason a route down the
center of the channel was too much trouble to make?
