Should I learn celestial navigation before doing circumnavigation?
I take 6. They fail all the time.....
And the stars failed to appear in the Pacific... I wait until they make BETTER gps before I go...

How about if I just get a cheap sextant and the book "Celestial Navigation When Your GPS Fails" and bring them with me ? TIA |
