On a clear day with your compass and a couple of land marks you should be able to find a rock pile. That was the way before Loran and GPS.

Makobob gets it!. Triangulation is a very old practice still used today by awesome fisherman that can't afford sonar/ GPS. I really appreciate a few of these guys taking the time to teach me this age old tradition

Easy enough to get home when you know where you are. Years ago came back in HEAVY fog from Catalina to Torrey pines, headed to Mission bay with compass and fathometer. Spent night off Torrey, followed beach next morning. No worries, compass and common sense. Be safe figure it out before it happens, know what you will do if it is ever needed.
