bilge rat, the electric wire runner, tells us he is at least two decades out of
date on navigation, maybe three decades.

-seriously, if you really want a genuine nav course, go to any small
airport
that gives flying lessons and sign for a nav course. you won't learn
celestial
nav, because that went the way of the dodo bird in aviation about 60 years
ago,and in seagoing about 20 years ago. Sorta like button hooks and
boots.-

Bilge- Izzatso? I'll let the deck officers on my ship know that. ABS is
aboard
today, I'm sure they can all use a laugh.

Aren't you the clown who wants to have people thrown in prison if their
anchor
drags in a storm and they collide with another craft?

And yet here you are...advising someone to set sail without learning
celestial
navigation...so what do they do when the genny ****s the bed and the
batteries
short out and no more satellite or LORAN...in the middle of the
passage...huh,
bright boy?

Oh, that's right...head...somewhere. And if the fuel runs out, or the winds
die, you can scream for help...The professionals will divert to assist your
sorry ass, if your radio works.

So you can come back in here and post your inane garbage.

You do realize that someone light actually take your dreck as sound advice,
right?
