Too easy for an old salt, impossible for the "modern navigators."

My father-in-law was on the Oklahoma, one of the last ships torpedoed
in WWII. Being the radio officer, he knew his watch error. The
captain had brought a sextant and charts, and between to two of them
they were able to navigate, sailing about 1000 miles in 17 days, until
they were rescued.

It was a basic question and Gary quickly lost every lubber here. And ol
Thom was thinking of the last threesome he par-took in.

Now you say Oklahoma.

What Oklahoma are you talking about?
