Navstation. Holy mackerel. What do you think you've got? An Atlantic

can

see them and nowhere else.


Huh?
What do you sail, an Atlantic freighter?
How do you keep the chart in front of the helmsman on a yacht?



I don't you upsidedowner. I place a screen with an electronic chart in


front

of the helmsman.

Of course you permafrosted porkchop.
But you said you put a paper chart up, never ever had a paper chart in
the cockpit, too easily lost!



I am in total agreement you headhopping kangaroo. I hope the NG doesn't hold
that against me. If you want the helmsman to know where you are going you'll
have to give him an electronic chart. Paper charts in the cockpit are too
easíly lost. On the other hand the Moroon could probably use the 12 bucks
but then again he'd just waste it on Rum.
