Just want to let Elknuts1 know that I have navigated with map and compass, both in the fog and the dark, numerous times. It's required in boot camp and basic training in our local search and rescue team. Also, a front page article in our local paper in July of 2002 had a photo of a 21' cutty cabin beached on an island in Lake George. Seems the boat pilot misread his gps. OOOOps!
