Very interesting ER. I read through it once, but will need to go back through it again to figure out the stuff that wasn't clear on the first pass. How about an essay on Pre-Loran navigation? You mentioned elsewhere, that you taught yourself to navigate by the stars. I'd be interested in hearing the methods of navigation as well as how you taught yourself.
