How did the "captain's compass" get into the "Air-X marine wind generator"
thread?
Kind of annoying.

Doug, your newsreader or news serverr has scrambled your message list.
This thread is properly called "Captain's Compass".

I suggest to fix it you delete this group as subscribed, then
RE-subscribe, which will bring you several months' worth of messages.
Delete from the beginning to, say, the last month (Oct 30). This will
preserve all threads currently in play (likely that you are following)
and the NEXT time you download news group messages, you should see
that all messages are where they should be.

Don't bother unsubscribing and resubscribing.

Further up someone mentioned that they could view their LED based amp
output from the wind genny from their v berth and could guestimate wind
speed without getting out of bed. From there someone else suggested
checking a compass too, presumably to see if they had swung at anchor.
Hence the change of subject. At least they changed the subject line so
you can avoid reading it. That's not always done.

Anyway thread divergence at that point was inevitable. If you wait long
enough the discussion will turn to guns aboard (within reach of the bunk
of course).
