bilge rat, the electric wire runner, tells us he is at least two decades out of
date on navigation, maybe three decades. (Bilgeman) Date: 9/28/2004 12:23 PM Eastern Daylight Time Message-id: jaxashby asserts: -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?
