So? Of course its bush league navigation! What other type did you
expect from a couple of soggy guys on a 24 foot wooden boat a dozen
miles off the Maine coast on a foggy night, with nothing more than a
compass, a Ray Jeff radio, and an old paper chart, probably issued by
Texaco? (The big step up was the spinning light depth sounder!)




And they should be arrested for stupidity as soon as they hit the dock.


Ah, now you're claiming that it was illegal to cruise the Maine coast
before GPS! You're cracking me up, Larry!
