no, I was actually saying that wandering around in a fog using RDF where a nav
error of 6 or 10 or 15 degrees could sink your boat is stew ped, and if you
happened to survive well you were lucky. Others weren't.

I was also wondering just how you used the paper sextant you claimed you had in
a fog without the moisture making it come apart (nevermind how you used a
sextant in a fog at all).

if you believe in a God at all jeffies, you should fall down on your knees and
pray thanksgiving for Him saving your sorry butt from your own dumbness.

an *this* was accurate to what??

2 degrees? 5 degrees? what the hell knows how many degrees?

dude, wandering around in unknown waters with a obstacles nearby using an
RDF
was stew ped. That *you* might have survived means only that *you* were
lucky,
NOT fricken smart.

Get over it, AND thank your lucky stars.

Jaxie has just declared that it was impossible to cruise New England waters
before the invention of GPS! Maybe that explains why there are no boats in
Yarmouth, Freeport, Harpswell, Cundy's, Robinhood, Booth Bay, Linekin,
Pemiquid,
Friendship, Muscongus, Tenant's, Rockland, Rockport, Camden, Belfast,
Searsport,
Castine, North Haven, Vinalhaven, Stonington, Brooklin, Blue Hill, Swans
Island,
Isle au Haut, Criehaven, Matinicus, Frenchboro, Bass Harbor, Southwest
Harbor,
Northeast Harbor, Cranberry Harbor ... And that's before you actually get
"Downeast!"
