Sailors Myth # 3: You need a GPS to go cruising.

Myth Buster # 3: It's better to know where you're going and not know how, than to know how you're going and not know where. You don't need a GPS to know where you're going... but you'll be glad you have one. You'll be even more glad if you have a chartplotter.
