After fog blew in at the BE buoy last summer and I had a very close encounter with a container ship that crossed my bow 200' ahead of me so silently that you would have thought it wasn't running. It scared the heck out of me and I now have a Furuno 1623 on my T-top so I don't get run over out there. I have had a bunch of close calls over the years with just a plotter and the big ship was the final straw.
