"Sooooo,, this year I bought a chartplotter and I am absolutley blown away by it.
Now that I know how to use it well, if I had to I could navigate home without looking up from the machine at all. This could be the case if thick fog rolls in."

PLEASE! When I see this type of statement it completly scares me to Prayer for you!
The GPS will tell you where you are but will not tell you who or what is there with you or near to you! That Tug and Tow VS Sailboat is just a small example of the hazards. A RADAR will tell you what is out there in the fog as you navigate with your GPS. Use ALL AVAILABLE means to ascertain your safe passage.
The GPS WILL NOT show that other boat coming at you in the fog. BE AWARE! BE ALERT! BE ALIVE!
