Again, thanks for the replies. "Jimmy" and I have a pool going on each of my new posts as to how many replies it takes for someone to mention "Block Island" or "buy an anchor". "Jimmy" won this one. I had "Block Island" in 5 replies. Jimmy had "buy an anchor". GRRRR. Thanks for nuthin, kalan2000....
My unit is, in fact, WAAS enabled. Here's how I use mine (similar to Perry): When I'm in a new area, I study the chart to make sure I know where I'm going. Then, I carefully take the route that I've studied, laying down the bread crumbs. On the way back, sometimes at night, I stick VERY closely to the trail I've left. From what everyone has said, I now believe that the "repeatability" of the tracking will keep me in the channel, or at least within 10 meters of it. I do not depend on the goofy map that is included in my cheapo unit, since, like I've mentioned, sometimes my bread crumb track looks like I've run the boat into the parking lot.
Thanks again, (almost) everyone!
