I didn't say that it affected the trip. But with a newbie navigator, I would
have thought that some sort of backup that was better than 'failing
batteries' would have been prudent.

We had a backup. They're called "paper charts." They don't need batteries, nor
does the 3 compasses we carry.
In any case we were able to use the GPS for the whole trip.

I thought the paper charts were your primary nav tools, and that the GPS was
the backup?

Every nav tool is a backup for every other nav tool.
Keep trying!

When you play Deep Purple records, do you have everything louder than
everything else?

Let's us have their numbers please?

Bwahahahahahah!

Let's us have their numbers please?

NOS numbers? I have the chart kit here. For which area?

RB

A chart kit is not a 'chart'. It's a scaled down version of a chart.
You said charts which means NOAA govt. charts. For example
the NOAA chart for Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands is numbered
25640 scale 1:326,856.L.I.S. would be 123__. Fill in the last
two numbers please

Another case of Booby lying?

Unfortunately you have no idea how to utilize either the paper charts or the
compasses. You don't even know the variation for your area.... you couldn't
complete a simple deviation table, without which you compass is useless for
proper navigation let alone confirming fixes on your "line of sight" trip


| In any case we were able to use the GPS for the whole trip.

Yeah Bob... sure you were! Bwahahahahahahahaaa!! You claimed the whole trip
was done by line of sight with only "spot checks" on the GPS. You even
implied no chart work was done because of line of sight... now you are once
again reinventing the story.

It's amusing to watch how many changes you make to the original plot.
