• I'm surprised this hasn't been posted, it's going to be great fun.
  • I"m with you Tom but even now
    • I agree with the nostalgia and art form of paper nautical charts.
    • Not surprising
    • Uhh... No.
  • I don't see why there's any argument
    • I agree!
  • I haven't read the article, but I'm guessing "it" is slavish attention to Active Capt?
    • No. "It" is paper charts, "The second most dangerous thing onboard"
      • The problem with Dedreconing is..
        • Valid? How many here with charts aboard are unable to plot a DR track today?
      • Agreed. My paper charts
      • OK, I had to go read the article to find the MOST dangerous thing.
        • The most dangerous thing on the boat is....
          • Oh, I don't trust those electronics
        • Now that we have all been blessed with the availability of Active Captain, I'm surprised he's not arguing...
          • We have electric winches and even I wouldn't be without a winch handle
          • I don't know why you don't throw the whole boat away . . .
  • I wish they would stop saying..
    • I'll second that
    • I've always been amazed how accurate DR can be
    • I purposely did a DED reconing course out of Marina Del Rey.
  • I agree with Jeff (ActiveCaptain)
    • I like the AC addition on the Blue Chart app.
  • As it is on the highway, the "most dangerous thing" is probably the nut behind the wheel.
