Great stuff:
From the article:
"I love GPS, it saves time and give you a fix every three seconds as
opposed to once or twice a day as we managed before it came into service, but if
it were switched off the sextant would come out and I would navigate as I used
to."
It's all the other electronics that's got him annoyed.
