Bob, since you said that you'd answer direct questions, here are a few I'd
like to ask, not only for my own benefit, but for that of the group...

What is your coordinate system is set at?

How do you interpolate that data onto a chart?

Have you a clue as to what 'chart datum' is?

Can you comprehend UTM from Lat/Lon?

Are seconds, minutes and degrees greek to you?

Do you use an unpowered GPS?


Thank you in advance.

And, I'd like Booby to tell me us about the rule of 12ths.

Wally, shame on you!
The trick is to troll info I can't look up or extrapolate errors from normal
posts. You just don't get it.

Bob, shame on you!
The trick is to troll to see if you can do simple tasks like operate a tide
table or open the battery compartment of your GPS. You just don't get it.

Wally the datum changes when he steps in the boat.

Remember Archimedes principal.

But you failed to find out anything beyond the fact that I'm too clever for
you.
My "skill level" is completely unknown to this group and that's the bottom
line.

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

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