If you actually think Loran is ever going to be more
useful than GPS then you're daft. I tossed my Loran
in the junk pile six months ago after getting sick of it
being about a mile off on latitude for the whole of
southern Florida and worse for the Bahamas.
ROFL try reading for content, Neal, not, typically what you want to
read........besides, what do you care? You never get to sea anyway.
You're lucky I like you, Capt. Shen. One of these days when
your ship is foundering in a storm at sea maybe you'll be lucky
enough to have me sailing my yacht in the area. I'll be happy
to rescue you from an awful fate. There's room for five or
six of your officers aboard the safety of my positive flotation
yacht but the deck hands will have to take to a life raft and
fend for themselves. We officers should stick together but
those under us don't deserve equal treatment.
S.Simon - a safer boat and captain has rarely sailed the seven seas.
