Southseaman 21 & Entering the Storm

After voyaging from Canada to the UK with crew, I sailed the 80ft Gran Mistral 'Weddell'', single-handedly from Southampton to Reykjavik, Iceland, there I met a new crew. After sail repairs, provisioning & safety training, we set sail for St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada; 1600Nm away.
It was September and heavy weather was expected.
What we got was a 'Super Storm'.

Navi Guessing ! I didn't know it had such a long history!

[@CSMtheMariner]

Even in the age of GPS, the ocean still demands a certain amount of guesstimating!

Listening as I went about my morning, I thought, “116W 38N? That sounds so familiar…oh right! That’s because I’m at home.” Around 112W 41N in Salt Lake City… UTAH!

Those guys were so wonderfully brilliant AND clueless:)
(It also underlines how such legends as the Bermuda Triangle come to be !)
