Re: gps training by boater
Sheesh, Boater! I can't get a signal in here, I'd have to go outside! :grin: Can I use a map and dividers? What's the error tolerance for a correct answer?

Re: gps training by boater
The real answer is - I'm too far away from my boat where my GPS is! I should be fishing today :shocked:

Re: gps training by boater
To do this RIGHT.... the position SHOULD be in degrees-minutes-seconds.THOUSANDTH of seconds!
Not degrees-minutes.thousandth of MINUTES!!! If I was in the mood to run to work and grab my "Black Box", I could get you within a 1 foot margin of error!!! And DOCUMENT it!!! :grin: A fun drill none the less!!!! 
On a "fishy" note...Rain and I made our way south to T-bay this week for the first time. She just returned from another jaunt to the frozen North!! We fished the Hospital Hole for the first time, and met whom I think was "big and bright". I had one bobber down and wiffed it...saw a couple hooked...and a GORGEOUS mint bright hen come out of the slough. I would be there today....except Rain would rather catch me with another WOMAN, than fishing without her!!!!! :shocked:
