ATTN: Bobsprit
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. -- Wally www.makearatherlonglinkthattakesyounowhere.com Things are always clearer in the cold, post-upload light. |

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.

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. 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. RB |

Rock.
Flat batteries. Failure to buy new batteries on reaching land. 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! RB |
