dood, if you are taking fixes on marker buoys, bottom depth, sounds from shore,
smells from onshore restaurants, THEN you are usaging pilotAGE, **not** deduced reckoning. this is easy stuff, shen. pay attention. What I described is NOT piloting, as piloting involves fixes. |

ubject: DR practice
From: (JAXAshby) Date: 08/07/2004 14:24 Pacific Standard Time Message-id: dood, if you are taking fixes on marker buoys, bottom depth, sounds from shore, smells from onshore restaurants, THEN you are usaging pilotAGE, **not** deduced reckoning. this is easy stuff, shen. pay attention. A fix using marker buoys, it piloting. Using soundings, sounds from shore or smells from onshore restaurants is part of DR, as they don't give you a fix, they just aid in narrowing the error in your DR. Course, there are times when you can use soundings to get a fix, but as per usual, that's beyond your understanding. Your right, this is easy stuff, but obviously beyond your knowledge and understanding as you're still trying to comprehend the various terms. Shen |

no it isn't. you are piloting the boat, but using pilotage for navigation. there is a hell of a difference. |

As per usual, your lack of experience and knowledge of the subject is
showing. You need to learn more than one definition for the same woids. Pilotage, is the fee paid a pilot for piloting your boat. Only a rank amateur with nothing but knowledge gained from reading and none from doing would come up with some of the junk you do. The terms are interchangeable, and the fact you can't and don't understand that tells us how little you know. otn JAXAshby wrote: A fix using marker buoys, it piloting. no it isn't. you are piloting the boat, but using pilotage for navigation. there is a hell of a difference. |

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

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. otn |

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. |

EG they are interchangeable, though those (such as JAXAshby) who never use either might not think so. |

No difference at all. Sometimes I'm using piloting and others I'm using pilotage .... them's the same ting. You just don't know better. Shen |
