Please learn from my mistakes. I went out of LaPush (or as we out here call it, the other LA) one time. I had no compass, GPS, radar, NOTHING... I was in an 18ft boat and had to much confidence in my abilities with no respect for the sea. Well I had some, but not much. Anyhows, we left and ran into a fog bank about 4 miles out. I thought, no big deal, we can still go, I'll keep the sun to my back. NO Problem. WRONG!! To make a long story short. I ended up off Destruction Island!! Scared the crap outta me. The only way back was thru the fog. when I arrived at the red bouy in front of LA, I wanted to kiss it. Refueled the boat and found I had only one gallon of gas left in the tank. BE CAREFUL out there and always have respect for the seas!!!!! If you'd like the full version of the story email me and I will tell ya all about it..
