In my yacht club, one fellow in the ocean sprung a big leak. He called for help to the Coast Guard. He had GPS on the boat.
His actual location was in the Pacific Ocean, about 5 miles offshore, about 15 miles south of Marina del Rey.
He called on the marine radio, and three times gave his location, which ended up being 3 locations 30 miles apart. His GPS coordinates were for somewhere in Idaho.
He was a very experienced sailor who had sailed around the world.
I don't trust technology.
