"One of the tests involves sitting at the chart table, with the ports

out, and predicting your position to within a few metres.

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

Joe, you obviously think that I would mislead you. Let me take this
opportunity to reassure you that I would never give you false information.

Take a look at any of these links, and search for "blind navigation".

By the way, there is a web site called www.googol.com which you can use to
find out things for yourself.


No external imput at all.

How can this be done?

Joe, read the thread that you copied that text from. Try about two posts
down.

Maybe you need to go on an RYA course, where they will open your eyes to the
science of blind navigation.
