So I set it on "compass" and we eventually hit shore close to the original access. I was so damn stressed out knowing that little battery powered POS was the key.  We waited an hour as it got dark and the other guy came limping in on a half-running sled - thank God. He had broke a belt and the replacement on the borrowed sled was wrong size. So he had put the kids in a shelter and somehow battled through it and got that wrong size belt on anyway.I will never ever ever be on a lake in white-out again if I can help it. That afternoon had a really crappy feeling about it. We tried to laugh it off at the bar later but everybody was uncharacteristically quiet if you know what I mean. It's called dread... and you don't shake that feeling quickly. I still get a sick feeling if I put myself back there intensely.</blockquote>
