I've had my Garmin GPS 72 out often this season with no visible water
ingress. I haven't rolled with it but it's dipped itself into the water at
least twice with no harmful effects. Two lemons in a row are a bit much but
I suppose anything is possible.

I really like the 72 ... easy to see, simple controls, tides, and a map
tracking ability. The trip-meter with the moving and the stopped (ahem!)
times accumulated and average for total time and time moving is especially
nice. Sometimes I dawdle. :P
