I had a similar occurrence this summer. Although I did know basically where I was, it was dark and foggy, and I was heading around a large reef. I slowed to headway speed, giving up on the GPS system, except for my tracks. I looked intently for the lighted markers, dim as usual.

Mostly, I was disappointed with the lack of performance on my new GPS.

I also note that he blew a .16 two hours after the accident, which translated into a .19 according to the report. I'm sorry, both numbers are impaired.

Note he was piloting a bowrider as well.
