Joel?
 

I found nothing on Google but must believe that is a gross oversimplification. 
First, there are no reefs in GPS, so they must have also been relying on 
charting of some kind. And then, the odds are they were using the one or the 
other or both improperly. One must also rely on the navigator/operator as 
much as the tools, and I'd bet the problem was operator error--not GPS 
itself. Error that would have been repeated with any other tool: LORAN, 
sextant, rod and chain, whatever.

But I'd certainly be interested if you could turn up details.
