I am interested in learning to navigate, but am wondering where to
start. Basic questions I have include:
- where can I buy dividers, compass and charts (e.g. St. Croix river
area),
- is there a recommended class (online or distance learning) for
navigation this winter, and
- in the long-term is there a certification for pilot or navigator
that is worth obtaining for cruising?

All input is appreciated, thank you.

Alan


.....and I forgot to mention: Absolutely, positively get yourself the book
"Chapman Piloting, Seamanship and Small Boat Handling", by Elbert S.
Maloney. Not easy to find in bookstores, but you can order it from
www.westmarine.com.


IDIOT!!!! NIMROD!!!! BOZO!!!! NUMB NUTS!!!!

Oh, wait, this is a boating thread.

Never mind - my bad. :)

Later,

Bad indeed. Nimrod was a mighty hunter, among other attributes.

them, who is arrogant about his ignorance, who is reckless and
incompetent, and whose backers are turning the United States into a pariah.

What, me worry?

Nimrod the mighty hunter of humans of biblical times became the stupid yo-yo
hunter of modern times in 1955(?) when Daffy Duck (?) taunted Elmer Fudd (?)
calling him "my little Nimrod".

what Nimrod hunted was human beings. A sadistic ******* he was too, but you
are right hoary, Nimrod was good at it.
