Hopefully we all agree on that.
What kind of boats do you guys have??? You sound like a powerboater
claiming you don't have to think about currents because you're doing
30 knots all the time.
Where I sail there are frequently currents of 2 knots or more, plenty
to cause "spiral" for a slower sailboat.
There were a couple of times I was glad to have my old Ray Jeff RDF on
board but I am no more eager to dust it off and use it again, than I
am to do long division by hand.
I'm guessing I'm one of the few here that actually remembers how to
take square roots long hand.
