Jeff,
Lanod has told us a hundred times now that any yachtmaster can
navigate blindly without any input. Of course all onshore yachtmaster
including
lanod can see thru thick fog without radar.


Joe,
Can you give us a rough definition of the word "navigate"?

Who controls a boat's course through the water? The navigator, the
helmsman, or the skipper?



Regards

That's easy ... the skipper .... the navigator only advises, eg kinda
like a pilot.

The Helmsman..... which could be the Captain or the Navigator depending on
the circumstance or watch.

Look it up in your on-shore yachtmaster guide.

Gee Lanod.........on my boat thats all the same person.

Does it take 3 yachtmasters to navigate a boat?

That is exactly what I thought!

Try to imagine a boat where the examiner is sitting in the cockpit, along
with the helmsman. Now imagine that the navigator is down below, with his
charts. The ports (windows) are covered.

Why can the navigator not do some navigation?
