To make a safe entrance to Port Jeff at night you need....
GPS Charts Radar Spotlight Bottom contour info off charts Forward scanning sonar Suzanne used chart & compass. I had the GPS in my pocket the whole time. Bravo Suzanne! RB |

Not at all Bob... you've proved beyond a doubt that any available data or
technology would be useless due to your level of comprehension... but I will address your statement. "Bobsprit" wrote in message ... | To make a safe entrance to Port Jeff at night you need.... Why not expand that to general navigation Bob? | | GPS | Charts | Radar | Spotlight | Bottom contour info off charts | Forward scanning sonar you missed the Sextant, Chronograph, Tide Tables... why am I not surprised. | | Suzanne used chart & compass. I had the GPS in my pocket the whole time. Bravo | Suzanne! Yeah.. sure she did Bob. Just the Chart and the Compass... Bwahahahahahahahahaaa!! CM |

BFD!
Anyone who passed 8th geometry has the skills necessary for chart and compass navigation. "Bobsprit" wrote in message ... To make a safe entrance to Port Jeff at night you need....

Anyone who passed 8th geometry has the skills necessary for chart and
compass navigation. Wally feels it's hard and he'd prefer to rely on electronic aids. Mooron agrees. RB |

In my study of the subject thus far, *I* haven't found it hard. However, someone who doesn't have the benefit of my 25+ years of land-based map & compass nav might find the learning curve a tad steeper. -- Wally www.makearatherlonglinkthattakesyounowhere.com Things are always clearer in the cold, post-upload light. |

There you go again..... off on another dive for the brush line like some
panicked cow..... "CANDChelp" wrote in message | Wally feels it's hard and he'd prefer to rely on electronic aids. Mooron | agrees. I've tried to illustrate it's basic simplicity to you on many occasions Bob.... but you continually insist that after years of sailing you don't have any navigational skills to speak of. Electronic navigational technology is not even remotely difficult and it should never be utilized for anything but confirmation of a hand charted plot. Why does this common sense fact seem to evade you?? CM |

I've taught basic navigation to most of my regular crew... once you understand the basic nomenclature and their relation to the methodology it's just plain common sense. It does scare most people though.... like a fear of the unknown.... like the reason power boaters think sailing is difficult to master. CM |
