Was official warning to boaters not to rely on GPS or cell phones, should only rely on VHF, off the carolina and florida coast.

Nope. 100% certain.

The Associated Press WILMINGTON, N.C. -- Boaters may have to rely on dead reckoning to get around for the coming week because a military exercise will test and evaluate a system designed to jam signals from navigation satellites. The exercise starting Friday and continuing through most of next week will gauge the military's ability to interfere with global positioning systems from about 50 to 60 miles off the North Carolina coast and in parts of Florida.
