I have said (along with many others) many times before .... And I am sure that MikeF will agree also ..... There is NO substitution for "learning the Lake" from a good chart and looking around to get your bearings. Electronics (GPS's) are great - WHEN USED as an accessory to your knowledge.
I too have a GPS (love the damn thing--especially at night) but only rely on it, at this point only to pick up (locate precisely) a stick in the horizon that I am already anticipating being there.
Boat cautiously, Boat with care, boat with knowledge, boat to enjoy !
