dougies and jeffies and others seem eternally worried about NAVIGATING AT SEA
without triple redundant gps's, RDF, working C. Plath sextant, Almanac,
chronometer and SSB for time clicks.

This sailor -- who has sailed something more than a Hunter 19 or training
wheels -- thinks a single cardboard beer box is enough.

"When we asked what Babe would use to navigate, he pulled out a crude
astrolabe-like device he made from the cardboard from a beer box. "With this, I
can get my position, without tables or a watch, to within 60 miles."
