lost gps spots and geting home
Submitted by petermac on Tue, 2015-02-10 20:12
my hummingbird 799ci crashed on me and I lost all my gps spots , its up and working again fine, does any guru out there know how I can recover my gps spots or are they gone forever (not that I caught any fish on them )putting a compass on the boat now as we were about 70km of shore when it happened so well out of site of land , I lost all my tracks as well which I use to get home and wasn't sure which way was home , got lucky when a rec boat went past and I decided to follow him in modern technology is a good thing until it dies . Back in the day I did everything with a map and compass bearings, it was bit of a wake up call for me to not depend on my electronics . And yes I know I could have used the sun as a guide

certainly entertaining, started I think with a post about what Jack Russels were like and they were getting one.
Next post was my 40kg bulldog bit a police officer but it was the officers fault....

The older you get the more you realize that no one has a f++king clue what they're doing.
Everyone's just winging it.

Hang on...
...you guys forgot about the lost glove....maybe it's in a drawer somewhere, next to his compass?
And while he was bobbing around on the ocean, halfway to Africa, I'm hoping the dog and the bike were parked up at Bent St boat ramp, keeping an eye on things...
