GPS accuracy

I probably rely too much on GPS, seduced by the clear graphics and the technology behind the system.

The investigation of a sailing accident at

The report is a good read. Incredible the nasty spot most of the crew walked, or swam, away from.

There is also a review of a man overboard incident during the same race.
