Is anyone else amazed at today’s technology
Too Many People are Entirely Reliant on Tech
, especially When using Navigation on a Smart Phone.
funny you should mention that
we were out on the big lake (lake Michigan) yesterday to watch the fireworks
there had been a storm in the air all evening and there were some light drizzels while we were out
after the fireworks it got real cloudy (read, pitch dark) and the wind and the waves picked up
enough wind and waves that where i normally can control the boat at idle this time i had to keep the engine around 1500 RMP just to hold a position
waves had gone from dan near glass (i put a picture in the "random pictures" thread) to 3-4 foot waves
at that point, with about 50 or so other boats out and only the two navigation lights at the beacons of the channel to show where the lake goes inward (they are some 300 feet apart)
ill be honest with you man, at that point i would have been happy to have some electronic form of navigation to show me how to safely get the boat and the family back home
