Do you have any charts aboard, or are you running depending strictly on an uninterrupted supply of DC power and counting on 100% reliability from your electronics for navigation information? C/ Yes... have charts. older GPS used as backup. What's with the A/,B/,C/? I thought compasses had NSEW. Some kind of nav chart notation? I plan to learn to read charts, but you're scaring me here. --Vic FYI - You're replying to a moron. |
