12/13 7pm
read a post on 2 cool frm kenny that one of our neighbors
was lost in the fog...no compass and in distress...had a gps but didnt know how to navigate w/ it
wasnt far in front of Pirates Beach
Kenny and another neighbor(the famous TC) went out @ 8:15 pm and found him and got him safely back to his residence here in JB
many thanks to Kenny and Tom

Teach that guy to use his electronics. It is bad enough if you do know how to use it when navigating in that thick stuff!

If you have electronics, know how to use them. If you have a compass, know your bearings. I'm always mentally marking bearings and landmarks when the weather is good. It has always served me well on foggy days.

We couldn't get any of them to hit a top yesterday, but we were looking for that one big bite, so we moved on to where I know there are a few big girls.

I remember seeing that one. He wasn't far from home at all. That stuff would be really nasty without a gps.

Yea Sandy if you have electronics you need to know how to use them

Glad he's safe good job Kenny.

Once he gets over the arse whippin' from his wife, we'll get the fellow squared away on his GPS. We'll also get his panga rigged out with a COMPASS and other stuff he needs.
