Rhodes 22 in fog & low visibility Re: [Rhodes22-list] GPS reply

[Mary Lou Troy]

Ed,
While I don't like being out in fog and low visibility (it's almost never zero) any cruising sailor can get caught in a sudden rainstorm or have to make it home in low visibility. The Rhodes 22 makes a wonderful cruising boat for a couple. We find our handheld GPS a solid backup to our coastal navigation skills. Among other things we know when we are entering a shipping channel and the quickest way across which in low visibility is a real plus.
