What about navigating in fog if your electronics fail? Could you show us how to do this?
Thanks for the video. It does remind me that maybe I over rely on technology. My boat has its own GPS system but I prefer the Navionics App on my phone. That App is the best investment I ever made for sailing. I've never had to sail in fog without GPS, AIS and radar. Even with all that I came closer to a fishing boat than i would have preferred. I now periodically use my radar in good conditions just to stay familiar with it. But without it I think my strategy would be to use the Navionics and keep away from the shore until I turned to go in. I can see my radar from the cockpit, I often sail alone and if it even starts to get a bit foggy the radar does give me some comfort.

AIS / Radar is on our list of items we would like to have, Our chart plotter is using Navionics, i recently updated it too so its pretty much a mirror image of what you can see on your phone, i still carry paper charts though, theres something quite nice about working it all out with a pencil and a good tide table etc!

@@CactusSailing same here, I have a charplotter but I prefer by far the navionics app on my tablet. I am looking into adding WiFi, so I could rely less on the charplotter and use the tablet more. Add a rugged case or a simple pouch, buy 2 or 3 $150 tablets for redundancy. Only thing I'm not sure is how much navionics can actually control / display the radar...
