He doesn't even know the variation has not completed a deviation table....
he uses the GPS.

yeah..

This is GONNA BE GREAT!!! I'll post this tomorrow!

Thanks, we did very well and had a great time. Suzanne is getting a great grasp
of nav skills.
We do our sailing unhampered by the need for drugs.

There was nothing in his posts to indicate that he looked at the GPS.

He wasn't involved in the nav.

Did you notice that he didn't answer my question about the
identity of the skipper?

Why the lies, Donal? I did answer you. I said you were the skipper, a guardian
angel protecting us in spirit as we entered the dangerously forbidden Port
Jefferson, or as it is known on the LIS, The Port Of Lost Souls.

Bwahahahahahaaha!

RB

There's few bigger assholes on this group than
Donal but you're one of them.

Give it a rest already before I sail up there and
put a boot in your fat, lying, pimply face. You've
become a pathetic presence around here.

Not only will you stay anchored on that billion lb test rode, but even if
someone torched you free, you lack the balls to sail up here.
Stop making threats. If you have an ounce of anything resembling courage, come
pay me a visit. Loser!

It'd be too hard to find you anyway. You can't even find
yourself on a map or chart. You go sailing only in your
dreams. Thimbles - yah right!

I'd have to hire a private eye who knew the location of all
the fast food establishments in New York and visit them all
one by one until I saw them wheeling you in or out on a
dolly.

Well, a pithy subject line always gets my attention Two years ago? Don't you
mean six?

Another lie from Donal. As I clearly indicated, I spot used the GPS to give
Suzanne our position. She did the rest, also using her Davis bearing compass
(for practice) to confirm positions. Remember, the LIS is one long single road.
On the return leg, little nav was truly needed to get home. City Island is the
"last" stop before the bridge run begins.
