I have a full set of Raytheon instruments.
Wind, tridata, depth, knotmeter, compass (yes, the fluxgate compass
sensor), countdown timer, and more. It even tells me the water
temperature in fahrenheit and celsius. The compass reads in true or
magnetic. The wind instruments read in true or apparent.

Standard stuff. The Raytheon instruments won't tell you:

• Magnetic Wind Direction
• Opposite Tack/Jibe Calculations
• Heel Angle
Bearing

Steer Angle
Target Boat Speed
True Wind Direction
Velocity Made Good
• Estimated Time of Arrival
• Cross Tack Error
• Mag Bearing Waypoint to
• Waypoint
• Drift
• Battery Voltage
• Magnetic Course Over Ground
• Speed Over Ground
• Derived Magnetic Variation
• Fix Time

The computer/GPS instruments tell me most of this. Even PHRF ratings
of other boats.




Pathetic Earthlings! No one can save you now!

Sad Times Indeed...for now
 

I pulled the plug on Bobby Boy. I came home from work last night and
found him jerking off to some gay boy web site. I gave him orders NOT
to use my computer any more.

Suzy, not Suzzy. What the hell is a suzzy?

Well, folks. Most people here will agree that I generate a lot of sailing talk
and debate. While most is done via trolls, at least some is serious and real
info is the result. No doubt I'll be missed! Go ahead, deny it if you like, but
"we" all know the truth.
I have a terrific summer ahead with some nice sails planned with my wife, who
is due Sept. 9th. It's time to get out there and sail and stop posting here, at
least until the fall/winter. I'll drop in links from time to time of pics, but
I'm otherwise outa here for a while.
I hope you all have a great summer of safe sailing and fair winds.

Best Regards,

I also have GPS, and a computer with a built in DVD player. Also full
stereo sound, and a CD player. The atomic clock stopped, so I can't
count it until it's fixed.


My friend had an atomic clock on his boat. He dropped it and the case
cracked.
It leaked and now he can't re-board his boat for 500'000 years.

I plan on getting the atomic clock fixed, getting some atomic fuel,
and an atomic detonator, and using it on enemies of the United States.


Paris, perhaps?
