Another short visit to .asa
Off the freighter, back in Washington and on a nice vacation. I'll be up
visiting Ole Thom in a week after doing some needed catch up on the business side of life plus checking progress on the boat upgrade/refit. Then back out for another four months. Managed to keep busy during the off watches (besides 1100 hours of overtime in seven months!) The long term project is the dictionary/glossary and it's now up to 8,000 plus entries and no end in sight. Did some training on some side aspects of celestial navigation such as determining sunset/sunrise, checking compass accuracy, amplitude and the like plus learning enough of HO 229 to pass the coasties examination. The bigger news is I submitted an article to Lats and Atts and it was accepted. Concerns the interplay between small craft and large vessels in SOLAS and COLREGS situations. A lot of the content, after some careful research, stemmed from discussions on this very newsgroup. In the works is emergency navigation for sailing folk. Should get me through the next voyage. Another good thing I used from this group and two others is refit/upgrade ideas for Se Lange. The yard is busy deciphering my wish list and converting it into a work plan and budget but guaranteed a lot of what we've discussed is going to be part of the project. So for that . . .all you diehard proponents and opponents of just about everything . . .THANK YOU! Michael |
