    Re: Quiet Month for NavList

    Frank,

    I do not know how the numbers are now Frank, havent looked but I am slowly working through all the posts of interest that I have missed over more recent times. I had to step away from Navlist and other interests for a while.

    I have only ever been a fringe dweller when it came to celnav, never really become deeply involved in the complexities but do enjoy the level I work at. I have gone from learning celnav to not using it due to the advent of the dreaded GPS. The boat has now gone but the slow accumulation of sextants has continued over the years to the point they now number 16.

    I have semi restored some, tidying them up so to speak without destroying the patina of time that some display. I maintain my basic skills more to check the accuracy of the sextant following such work rather than to actually navigate anywhere.

    I guess there is a place for all of us, navigators, dreamers, collectors and others who find some satisfaction and wonder in the magic of celnav.

    Good to be back and reading again.

    Frank A.

    What is NavList?

    NavList is a community devoted to the preservation and practice of celestial navigation and other methods of traditional position-finding. We're a group of navigators, navigation enthusiasts and hobbyists, mathematicians and physicists, and historians interested in all aspects of navigation but primarily those techniques which are non-electronic.

    To post a message, if you are already signed up as a NavList member, start a new discussion or reply to any posted message and use your posting code (this is a simple low-security password assigned when you join). You may also join by posting. Your first on-topic messsage automatically makes you a member, and a posting code will be assigned and emailed to you for future posts.

    Uniquely, the NavList message boards also permit full interaction entirely by email. You can optionally receive individual posts or daily digests by email, and any member can post messages by email (bypassing the web site) by sending to our posting address which is "NavList@NavList.net". This functionality is similar to a traditional Internet mailing list: post by email, read by email, reply by email. Most members will prefer the web interface here for posting and replying to messages.

    NavList is more than an online community... more about that another day.
