It is the height of stupidity (and thus just at your level) to claim that
aviation regulations have some relevance to sailing. However, I do recall that
a number of pilots said your claim about aviation regs was faulty. Perhaps you
could give a reference? No? I didn't think so.

And what does a pilot do if they don't have GPS? Are you claiming its illegal
for a pilot to make a prediction about their location based on heading and
speed?

You've been claiming that everyone is doing illegal, dangerous things, but
you've never said exactly what is illegal or dangerous. All we know for sure is
that you're the one who calls in Maydays for no reason, and is lost at Hatteras.

jeffies, what you proclaim as a safe practise has been illegal in the air for
seven some decades. now, I am fully aware that *YOU* believe *YOU* are above
the laws of physics, but get your wife to explain it to you.

Jaxie, all those pilots are laughing at your misunderstanding of navigation
and
are thankful that you don't fly anymore!

I'm also grateful that you don't sail whenever there is the smallest chance
of
fog - that eases my burden considerably!

As for "putting my family at risk" you'll be happy to know that I travel with
GPS (plus a spare) and Radar, and unlike you, actually know how to use them.
However, I'm also prepared to cope with the loss of electronics, and when
conditions are ripe for fog, I chose routes that are easier for DR navigation
if
the need arises.

Claiming that safe navigation in restricted visibility is impossible is to
claim
that cruising, especially in the Northeast (or the Northwest) in the summer
is
impossible. But I guess for you it is impossible.

Is this why you never tell us about any trips you've been on when you were
actually in charge? It seems like the only trips you talk about is when you
crewed for an "incompetent" skipper.

yeah, 200,000 pilots in the country, and every last one of them is either
laughing at you for your lack of skills and understanding, or shaking their
heads at the danger you put yourself and your family so stew ped lee in.
