I call myself Nav. beacuse I am not the Captain, just a member of the crew.
In that regard I may be unusual as there many Captains here.

To answer your second question, the number of sailors who can navigate
well by DR is small.


Now, why do you call yourself "Lady"

Why will Katy be offended? Seriously, I'd like to know why some women

Seriously, I'd like to know why some sailor would call themselves 'nav'

Are there many sailors out there that can't navigate?

Well, I needed something to fulfill my sailing related posts quota.
Reminds me of the old bulletin board days when an upload/download ratio had
to be maintained; oh, the crap I uploaded!

I never really liked BB's. But if you post any sailing related stuff
here you will be doing us all a service! Thnk God there's been no gun
tread for a while although it's been bubbling under the surface for a while.

Now here's a new Q:
