Just for the record...
A black ball is a vessel at anchor..
2 in a vertical line is vessel not under command.
Leaving the helm unattended is not really vessel not under command....though it comically is the same
After 5 hrs napping, and the gps went down....I would just check one of the other 5 gps aboard.
When I'm "with it," hoist a black ball on the bow-pulpit staff while anchored.
