Default Seamanship Question #27

I have an autohelm hand bearing compass with
nine memories. I like it, it works well. Have to
keep it level for accuracy.

I thought that the 9 bearings/times in memory would be useful but I still
prefer to note the times and bearings so I don't have to put everything
down and look into the KVH and push buttons. My goal is to shoot the fix
and have it plotted with a DR in 3 minutes. The KVH slows the process a
lot. I also find it slow to use. It is relegated to quick shots of
approaching vessels, when I am away from the helm, so I can check bearing
movement and rate.


Bad edit, I wrote the above, not Capt Mooron.
