I do understand what you are talking about. You can't
use gps to avoid nearby obstacles. I remember sailing
on a 45' schooner through a narrow passage near Isle
Au Haut off the Maine coast years ago, and there is
ledge pretty far out from the bank, and just under the
surface. We had a lookout up the mast and on both
sides of the bow, and we crept along Very Slowly until
we spotted the rocks and got past them. And that was
with a skipper who knew where the rocks were anyway.
You are quite right -- visual is the only way to go in
some circumstances.
