Dittoes—obvious from my post.

Really good advice. A good ¼-square-mile+ area near Carry Beach is great sightseeing for scary huge boulders just under the surface.

The article was posted at BoaterEd.com: I'm certain they didn't intend to deceive its readers. Both GAO and USAF say the same thing—it's a spitting match between two government agencies!



The OP wants to spend the money on GPS: All I'm saying is to eyeball the weather and to eyeball any interruptions—whether they are granite or fiberglass.

GPS can't be relied upon to tell the whole story!
