This is one of the biggest displays of cowardice and stupidity I can ever remember seeing in my life.
The changing of course should not have been an issue unless its uncharted waters. Even my $500 GPS shows a map and the depth of the water around me and shows my location. So I can look at the depth of the water miles in front of me.
