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.

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.

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.

Rock.

Flat batteries.

Failure to buy new batteries on reaching land.

Wally the datum changes when he steps in the boat.

Remember Archimedes principal.

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.

The failing was nothing more than an anoyance...didn't effect the trip at all.

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. I seem to recall that you thought that
as well. Can you appreciate that there's a difference between 'preparation'
and 'hindsight'?
