A reasonable deduction.

I also reckon the group reached a typically harmonious conclusion?


Within reason.


Given the current of opinion.


I get your drift.


Yes, it's not set

I don't think so.

You'd call yourself "Nav" just so you could know where you are?
I could call myself "Millionaire" but it wouldn't make me one would it?

Seriously, I'd like to know why some sailor would call themselves
'nav' something on the web.

Are there many sailors out there that can't navigate?

These days "Millionaire" doesn't mean much.

the 'gar' prefix seems important. Looks like the origin is the Dutch word
for "cooked" or "done".
I would think it would be put in place early in the process, so "done"
didn't work for me. But I remember building a small boat when I was a kid
and we steamed or "cooked" the boards to make them pliable.
Ok, I give.
