jeffies, you said it all with:

I haven't used RDF

that we knew when you said it was accurate on a recreational sailboat to 2
degrees.

Everything I knew about RDF came from the Ray-Jeff manual,

if you hd paid attention, and thought things through, you would not have been
plowing through the granite ledges blindly in fog trusting your RDF to keep you
safe.

God takes care of fools and little children, jeffies. you got lucky. other
people didn't.

ah, yes, it did. Not exactly navigation information but nevertheless kinda
nice.

okay, besides where the signal came from, over the nee, what else does the
RDF
equipment tell _you_?


The top 40!

I welcome you to crackerbox palace,We've been expecting you.

Stay away from Maine, "Turn-Back-Jaxie," its way too scary for you! If you
thought the "rocks" at Hatteras were so scary you wanted to turn back, you have
no business cruising where there are real rocks!

BOO!

he died some time ago. not sure how long ago.

Ahh yes, Wolfman Jack...is he still around, we don't get him here
anymore? :-)

kinda a strange way, jeffies, for you to tell us you were unable to google
enough info to back up your claim that you have known for years how RDF works.

Sorry. Turnback, I'm not playing. RDF's were very common back then, just like
GPS's are now. Why don't you explain how a GPS works, and why you were so lost
you wanted to turn back when you should have been 10 miles from any hazard? And
why can't you tell the difference between rocks and shoals?

I heard Kasem's voice on an ad recently. he seems to be mostly retired. I
though he was well into his 70's?

Hmmm, that explains a lot :-)
I looked it up..died july 1 1995....young at 57

Sorry. Turnback, I'm not playing ...

.... with a full deck.

sorry, jeffies, you did someting stupid in your days of RDFing, and you got
lucky in your ignorance. other people didn't.

So what did I do, jaxie? I went cruising in Maine, a number of times, without
GPS, Loran, Radar, or even VHF. Yes, this would be foolhardy for you to do.
For me, there was no great risk, only great sailing.
