Hoorah for the US Navy

Hell even a sextant and a decent chart should have found something

Made me think of the movie All Is Lost. After losing all of his electronics,
Redford sits down with a (previously unused) sextant and a book on
navigation and figures out how to use it. It's not like he or those women
had more important things to do with their spare time.

At the end of 5 months, I'd be pretty good at navigating with the stars.
