I am curious - did you train to navigate with a sextant? Did you have some old salt aboard who could do that? It seems like a very seamanlike skill to possess. Especially when all the electric gear goes fins-up.

I was a heavy diesel mechanic for most of my tenure so didn't have much contact with the navigational end of the world, however I did attend a 3 week Sextant school in Governors Island NY - the final exam was with a set of coordinates you had to find 3 nickles hidden in a football field.

That was a Bitch!

That sounds like a truly righteous final exam!

I wonder how many guys were disappointed when no sex tent was provided.

I just took another trip, to Florida this time. I was planning on taking a bunch of cool pics like I did in New Orleans, and post them here. But I didn't really have time, took two pics the while trip. Not worthy, kinda like this lame post. Lol
