never leave home without a compass....."no gps fix" is not the message you want to see paddling around in pea soup, which is the only time I've seen that message on my FF/gps. On that day, johnny ceviche was my paddling partner and he was looking at me like

, obviously getting the same message on his unit. It was even worse because we both stopped to mess with GPS's which just made us more disorientated. Luckily we both had compasses....and we where still arguing about which way was east, we ended up by the marine room when the gps's started working again...good times!
