    Post Maritime Trivia

    I just signed up and introduced myself and someone commented that as a user of nautical charts I might be able to help folk out in that field. So here's the short background. I sailed for years as a deck officer on sailing vessels (10ft-175 ft), and am a USCG licensed capt, and an internationally certified watch officer. I've done a ton of dead (deduced) reckoning, and bunch of celestial navigation, coastal piloting, and of course modern navigation. SO that said, if you have historical/traditional sailing or navigation questions fire away.

    The Extreme Nautical Trivia source is right here. Let me know if you all have questions about charts old or new, or various methods of navigation (historical, or not)... the sextant is on the shelf next to me, the compass is around here somewhere, and the backstaff hangs on the wall in the shop.
