Default Binoculars

Second, I find them useful during the day for a great deal other than
sight
seeing. Locating aids to navigation before they're visible to the naked
eye;
reading buoy numbers and otherwise identifying aids to navigation well in
advance; detecting the angle on the bow of approaching vessels; looking
for
whether there's an anchor line from the bow of that powerboat just off the
bow; getting a feel for the speed of commercial traffic--does it have a
bone
in its teeth; seeing ranges like the center span of the bride and the
submarine escape tower that shows the center of the channel in New London;
etc. etc.


Right you are.


Of course I'm not one of those navigators who thinks navigation consists
of
turning on an electronic display and gluing my eyes to it. YMMV.


Of course.
