> As I understand it, this is a list for the history of navigation. As I understood it, the list is open to discussion of non-electronic navigation. That would include bell-buoys, compasses, and cel nav to name a few. Please correct me if I have misunderstood. It does seem to have a large number of history buffs, which is very interesting. Also interesting to read the views of those that would relegate cel nav to history vs. those that find it alive and well (albeit not thriving) for the small craft navigator. As to dummies at sea, no argument. Bill
