      You lost me well before spherical geometry.  There’s got to be a Waze app for boats, right?

        Yeah, that "pretty straightforward" navigation sounded like the announcers when I try to follow a game of cricket. Or maybe like teachers sound to Charlie Brown…

        In actuality, I do understand the gist, but it doesn't sound straightforward to do vector math on the fly while the shit you're floating on is moving 😃

        Once I was in a little sailboat on Pickwick Lake on the borders of TN, AL, and MS. This is a Tennessee Valley Authority project (reservoir with locks) on the Tennessee River, so all sorts of watercraft make their way through. On my little voyage, I managed first to nearly be capsized by the wake of a cigar boat and then to struggle to stay out of the way of a very large barge.

        Sailing is fun, but I can see why I should've learned more navigational skills before going out.

        I did have a lovely time overall.

        Think it, be it.

            Amazing! I hope you guys hammered some rum or some naval strength gin, just to be appropriate for the occasion @Chap 😃

                    …@Madame Buttonfly @Giles  once again congratulations! It's just fantastic! 😎 Great stuff!

                    …hopefully you won't be needing this for awhile. 😉  What's the 'draw' on that boat Gile's, how deep is she sittin'?

                        @Giles  does Paula realize  the main cabin is really the fishing gear locker?  😶

                        Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
                        Well, I have others.

                              The Pilgrim looks great as do the new owners. Enjoy it, as I'm sure you will.

                                I remember how excited I was to bring the Airstream home.  I wanted to eat, drink and sleep on it the minute we parked it.  I’m so excited for you guys.  It also took on water like a boat at first so…

                                        If i was a betting man, I’d say 5’2’’ - 6’’
