Lots of twists and tangles. The boat was Tanglewood, a Nordhavn 60. Sold it about a year ago and am building a Nordhavn 68, also to be named Tanglewood. We aren't very creative with the boat names.

I cruised throughout BC & Alaska with a Hemisphere V103 and never had a single drop out or loss of position of heading. We had long stretches of no VHF or any other coms service, but the Sat Compass worked great the whole time.
