Doug:

Try Mark S Anderson on that compass issue. His home number is 503.231.4842.
He used to be the guy at Captains Nautical. Man, I miss that place. It was
like a Chuck E. Cheese for big boys.

Bruce,
Do you have any Seattle wet compass rebuilders you can recommend? We don't
have anyone left here in Portland who can add fluid, etc., since Captains
Nautical went out of business a year ago thanks to stores like West
Marine.

Wouldn't it be nice if there were some kind of exact crossing ranges
setup for just compass swinging in some out of the commercial

channel place. Two ranges pointing into an area unobstructed,
crossing in the middle. One N-S range and one E-W range with markers
on both ends so you could go either direction and KNOW you were 0 or
90 or 180 or 270.

Alot of Coastal Towns have such Ranges setup out here in the west.
In Seattle, all the compass rebuilders use the same range that is
setup in Lake Union. In the spring the whole Seattle Based fishing
fleet can be seen out there doing compass adjusting.
