Please enter the Navigation-l survey. This will aid in future Silicon Sea
Legs and maybe help increase list discussions. Feel free to expand any
category.
Post replies to the list primarily. I will summarize and post the results.
Be aware that most of the better celestial navigation books were written
before 1980. So still list yours.
