>>If the GPS system goes down, getting lost is the least of your problems.
I have been in two or three GPS failure events. Two of which was the US invading some hot country and the other appeared to be caused by a lightening storm. This was actually while sailing offshore at night. The rain was torrential and visibility about the length of the boat. This would have been OK if there was nothing in the way, but there was a reef about 2 hours ahead. The GPS did come back on, but not for 6 hours or more. I don't know if this was a localised problem within the boat or more widespread. Based on these events, I am not 100% confident in GPS! Carrington Events, I thought a Carrington was something similar to the scene in the film Carrington in which an event took place below decks on a boat between two consenting adults.
