The operator had recently taken his boat out of storage at a marina where he was moving the boat to a new marina. The operator stated that it was dark with heavy seas on his journey and he became disoriented due to a malfunctioning GPS unit forcing him to use dead reckoning as a navigational means. The operator stated that he wanted to stay well offshore and this may have caused him to travel east. He saw lights on his port side and as he approached shore he was travelling in a northeasterly direction when he struck a break wall at a low speed (approx. 10 mph) and in doing this, his head struck the windshield of the boat.
