Saunders, Just some imput about the gps, A frien of mine made a swing away 
mounting, for a loran.   a friend of mind made a mounting for a loran. It is 
mounted to the bulkhead above the stove, and swings out into the companionway 
for readings.  You mignt want some sort of locking device, (perhaps a shock 
cord) to hold it there.

You can get a small hand held, like a Magellen 310 for about a $100 that can 
be   used in the cockpit, and store in a small holder, or on the shelf above 
the ice chest

Also, you can't always expect pin point accuracy, like a loran,  so use 
caution , especially in fog.  My LORAN will bring me back within 30 ft of the 
waypoint I entered at  that location.  It's done it time after time, and I 
trust it more for close in location work thatn I do either of my hand held 
GPS units  (Magelleon, and Garmin)
good units, but in really bad fog, I'd trust the loran, if I can get a signal.
 Just my opinion,
Russ  #251
