The GPS is great, split screen radar even better ... when I lived in Miami, we were out fishing and could track the thunderstorms on the radar so that we could fly right through them to safer fishing water and ultimately fish ... very handy ...
But I have to admit, one Columbus Day weekend several years ago, fishing my father's 21-cuddy cabin ... we had the bimini up with the side curtains ... real nice in the cold, wet, clammy weather ... it was 2 a.m., foggy as can be, raining like crazy and very high winds ... even with the compass and GPS had a tough time getting to my respective locations ... very disoriented for some reason, no idea why ... but could not get to my regular way points ...
... I think the high winds pushing us around made it slightly harder, as those curtains can seem like sails ... eventually I came across a fairly close way point, just dropped anchor, threw some eels over and feel asleep for a an hour or two ... except the fish were active so it was tough to rest ... wound up being a very productive morning, despite the fact I wasn't where I really wanted to be.
