GPS

This is my handheld GPS(Global Positioning System) using on my boat. It is a miracle device which tells me where exactly I am, how long it takes to the destination, and when the sun sets today. It also has a simple world map and works as an easy chart navigation system. My sailing instructor used to say that we shouldn't depend on a GPS because it is a blackbox and it may get out of order anytime. Surely a GPS was unstable ten years ago, but now a days it is very reliable owing to the popularization of car navigation systems. I don't like the old method of navaigation using compass, chart, and ruler because I get seasick in a rough sea. I'm going sailing to Gulf Islands for a week from this weekend, and of course I will take this GPS with me.

So next time you have to tell the girl you are the GPS of my life (instead of the compass of my life) ^^
What can you do on the island?

All I can do on the island is drinking in a pub. This is the life of a sailor.
