Compass ((alert))
When at the RISSA show I had a chance to listen in on a good GPS/Chartplotters semiar hosted by Capt Rick Kilborn. One of the important things he highly emphazised on was to make sure that your compass's are properely adjusted.
In the case that you travel 5 miles and your compass is off only 10 degree's you will be 1 mile off course, scarey I thought. Not to mention current, tide and weather conditions. Check and adjust your compass if nessary. Theres are many boaters that rely on their electronics and don't know the basic's on how to read a compass. Expect the unexpected!
