Being so used to GPS, it's hard to wrap my head around that.
With an easily affordable consumer electronic device that can fit in my pocket, I have better navigational abilities than the absolute best money could buy until a handful of decades ago.

- rebootthesystem 12y agoPickup sailing. Get up to where you can sail longer distances, between ports not day sailing. Without a GPS. Then do it at night. And, occasionally, not by choice, do it in the fog. This gives you a real persoective of what it takes to get from point A to point B. Even with accurate maps it can be confusing as hell. I used to sail a lot. Got pretty good at celestial navigation. Night sailing was always my favorite.
