One of the tests involves sitting at the chart table, with the ports
blacked
out, and predicting your position to within a few metres.

In other words, you have to sail (and navigate) the boat "blind".


Interesting, what if any inputs do you get?

Shen


My guess is radar or gps. If you do not get any inputs you are truly
blind.
Anyone who cant run a channel with a chart & a gps or radar should not be
on a boat.



No, no, no......

You have to guess your position without *any* aids.

Oh OK. Sorta like Physic viewing. ****...... if I could do that I'd be
working for the CIA.

Thats the answer.... Lets hire a Yachtsmaster to find Ossama.

Hmmmm. Now I think that I understand your dependance on radar.

You don't know how to navigate without high-tech aids, do you?

Could an average yachtmaster do any worse than GWB?

Its hard to dead reckon blind donal,
I could do a DTS type fix using a compass, but how will you take in
account set and drift without anything to take a fix on?

BTW what type of licences do you hold? How many times have DRed in the
fog?


Tell us Donal, How can you fix your position with the windows blacked
out, no gps, no loran, no chart no radar. OH Tell us O master
navigator.

Guess your gonna listen to the wave slapping on the hull and count
the duration of each slap and figure your distance by counting waves
huh? And on top of that your going to know when you turn by were the
slapping occurs on the hull. or maybe the increadable Mr Limpid is
going to guide you. Come on Supermariner fill us in on your
increadable skills.

Or maybe your internal gyro is going to kick in, Or maybe you have
xray vision and can see thru the fog and hull.

Perhaps it your crystal ball.

Joe
Amazed at Donals magical skills.
