Designs Storm from school and strapped all the nav gear on the deck for a quick paddle out to Chatham Island. Thought I'd figure out how the GPS actually worked on deck. Just in case, I had a compass forward to keep an eye on heading. Left at 11:40 from Gyro Beach down from the University as an Ocean River Sports crew was getting in from their level 2 course. Wind was light but building with an offshore low storming in. Low tide had just turned and I'd be paddling a building flood tide and a westerly (10-15 kn). See the track from GPS visualizer.
