Here it is the beginning of October already. We are planning to go across to Clam Bay for our Canadian Thanksgiving Weekend (which is next weekend). This is a great little bay enclosed by Thetis and Kuper Island
So, while we think about our short weekend at Clam Bay, I am looking into Celestial Navigation. Even though we have all the bells and whistles on Terratima, trusting the GPS and not having the fundamentals under my fingers - particularly offshore seems silly. Ergo, I have taken to various sites to learn the techniques, logic and math.
A good sextant is really expensive, so for now, I'll cheap out and read. here is a great site:

Maybe it's the MIT Geek in me, but I love this stuff.
