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.


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.
