[Rhodes22-list] GPS selection

[Bob Weber]

Bob, I got the Garmin 76 for christmas this year,  It has the vmg feature.  
I have been playing with it all winter trying to learn the best uses of it.  
I think it will help my racing results as long as I have someone who can 
sail the boat while I fiddle with the toy.  Another feature that I think 
will be useful is the bearing to the mark, so I can in theory know when to 
tack inorder to make the mark.  The fact that it floats was the final 
selling feature for this sailor.  I have made enough sacrifices to posiden.
