For the most part, yes!

Plenty of sailors have run aground, most in fact. Forgetting
something at home that doesn't effect the voyage one bit is hardly a
major failing.

When the navigator is a learner, I would be tempted to dispute that.


We're cruising to Norwalk this weekend. Look for the pics!

Yeah! Channel 9! Groovy!

No battery charger amongst the vertiable festoonery of shipboard
electronica.

Why, the GPS was not handled by her for the most part. And used in battery
conserve mode, operated for the whole trip. I set up a power cable for it last
week.

Oh, given the veritable festoonery of electronica aboard your vessel, you
*really* should have rechargables.

We do, and they work off the small inverter, which I have yet to install.

But you yourself admitted that leaving with weak batteries was a failing, as
was not purchasing fresh ones on reaching land. These aren't my criticisms,
but yours.

cable for it last week.

Which was at least a week after you should have.

Did you ever consider that that may be the point?

My inverter (for garage power) has two crocodile clips. It was very easy to
'install'.

Quite. However, without evidence to the contrary, one has no option but to
infer from the evidence that *is* available. In other words, until evidence
to the contrary is presented, your thus-far-evinced skills belie any
implication that you *are* skilled.

If you present yourself as unskilled, then unskilled you are. You are
welcome to demonstrate otherwise at your earliest convenience...

I got one of those shake-it-and-use-it flashlights!
