Thanks to all for your prompt responses. I have West Marine online
and am checking out a Nav kit, I've shot off a couple of queries to
the CG about local courses, and only time will tell if it will be
worthwhile pursuing a certification - but the experience will improve
my sailing, and that's what counts.

Thank you,

Alan

Don't forget that book, Alan! Even if you ignore the sections on

navigation,
it'll still serve a very important purpose: If other family members read

it,
they might learn some of the things that the captain sometimes needs to

YELL
during tense situations. Unfortunately, the book is missing one thing.

I've
repeatedly told my first mate that for safety reasons, she should remove

her
shirt while on the boat during nice weather. She wants to see it in

writing
from another source, and I can't find it anywhere.


It's a well known nautical fact that females have to take their shirts
off and expose their...er....themselves to the elements.

Why the hell do you think the female mastheads are half naked all the
time? [1]

Take care.

Tom


Thank you, Tom. This may be the "another source" that takes care of my
onboard disagreement. It's unbelievable how some people don't understand the
meaning of the word "captain".


Trust me, I have the same problem. ;)

Later,

Tom
