    Re: Sail the tall ship OHP, April 25-May 10
    From: Frank Reed

    Two weeks to go... 

    I have gotten to know some folks in OHPRI, the organization that operates the sail training vessel "Oliver Hazard Perry" from here in Rhode Island. I told them about the NavList community, and they have offered us a 10% discount on an upcoming cruise of the OHP from New Orleans to Annapolis, departing April 25 and scheduled to arrive May 10. The OHP is a huge, 200-foot long full-rigged ship of recent construction. Primarily they run youth sail-training programs, but they also occasionally host adult cruises like this one. Because of their license classification, all participants in this voyage become crew and engage fully in the operations of the vessel --fun stuff, like raising sails! The officers on this voyage will also be teaching celestial navigation (the standard stuff using HO 249). I understand there's a separate fee for that. Of course, if you don't take the class, you can still do your own sights, and there should be many opportunities to take sights at sea during this two-week trip. I also note that the Moon will be "in distance" for lunars during the last few days of the voyage.

    To learn more about the voyage, go here: https://www.ohpri.org/2018-adult-voyage-no-to-annapolis. To take advantage of that 10% discount use code REEDNAVIGATION when you register. And, no, I will not be joining the voyage. That 10% discount still leaves the trip about 98% out of my price range! ;)

    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.
