So, just let me make sure I understand you. Are you saying that 6, 10, or
15 degrees could sink your boat? I believe many boats sail with these
figures.

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!"
