Pilotage, is the fee paid a pilot for piloting your boat.

the use of the term in that way is not germaine to this discusssion. I stand
by my statement.

DR practice
 

The terms
are interchangeable,

they are not interchangeable, though those who never use either might think so.
Much the same way someone who never drives a truck might think the terms
two-speed axel and transmission overdrive are interchangeable. only to those
who have never been there.

DR practice
 

Sometimes I'm using piloting and others I'm using
pilotage .

*you*, shen, don't use either one, ever. go crawl back in your hole.

DR practice
 

No difference at all. Sometimes I'm using piloting and others I'm using
pilotage .... them's the same ting.

Only a landlubber would use a "dictionary" definition for a nautical term. It
figures that all of jaxie's nautical knowlege is from Webster's.

The rest of us, however, use a proper reference, such as Bowditch.

From the 1962 edition:
"Piloting (or pilotage) is navigation involving frequent or continuous
determination of position or a line of position relative to geographic
points, to a high order of accuracy. It is practiced in the vicinity of
land, dangers, aids to navigation, etc. and requires good judgment and
almost constant attention and alertness on the part of the navigator."

jeffies, "piloting" means the steering of the craft, while "pilotage" means the
navigation of the craft by use of landmarks.

*you* were to ever in your lifetime talk to someone who has done both.

jeffies? are you trying again to prove to the world how limited you are in
native candle power?

Google? I just pull a copy of Bowditch off the rack. (You didn't notice I used
the '62 edition, not the online 2002 edition.) You're the one who cites his
online Webster every other post.

Speaking of piloting, have you figured out yet which light you were looking for
at Hatteras when you wanted to turn back? Three GPS's and a clear night, and
you couldn't find your way! And you still can't tell us where you were? What
a Putz!

sounds like jeffies be miffed that I repeated the thought that catamarans are
the fake tits of the sailing world. All hard edges and sharp corner, overly
large for the sake of being overly large, without additional function but with
reduced sensitivity.

G Actually it is, since I'm part of this discussion.
However, to stay within your limited knowledge of the subject, Bowditch
has a section on this subject.
It starts off: "Piloting (or pilotage)) is navigation involving frequent
or continuous determination of position ....."
What this is saying, is that the terms are interchangeable.
Now, I realize that someone with the limited knowledge and experience
you possess, needs a basis for developing your skills, but I suggest
you'd be better served spending less time fixating on your
interpretation of the meaning of some word or phrase and more time out
there learning through doing, regarding the compass, DR, and
piloting/pilotage.
