Suunto kayak compass

I like the Orca compass just fine, fits the cowl of my Current Designs Sea kayak, as well as all six of my other boats. Being caught in sudden whiteout fog in the middle Lake Michigan's Sturgeon Bay with no visible landmarks, I was inspired to go for the Suunto Orca compass. It is easily read while paddling, no fumbling for a tiny compass dangling from my PFD. As it was, we were thankful for the little survival compass/whistle that is always attached to my PFD. I made a spray deck that attaches with Velcro for my 15 ft Ocean Kayaks fishing Prowler's open cockpit, and have sewn in loops backed up with a spar for the compass also. It will see action on Northern Lake Huron this weekend, kayak camping on some Potagannissing Bay islands. Lessons learned about unexpected fog, even at age 65, I never go for any lengthy distance without the Orca.
