Bring along (and know how to use) a compass (if planning on any long crossings or paddling through fog today).
while many (if not most) of those in this group use a compass, there are some of us that are gps navigators (though on long trips I’ll always have a compass backup).

Compass and a chart. I use the GPS to assess performance. Batteries die, electronics blink out, and devices get left home. The compass is part of my boat. I use the chart carry case to take incidental items such as the GPS, VHF, wallet, keys, sunscreen out to the vehicle so I don’t forget it.
