Splitting Bowditch

Subject: Splitting Bowditch

Hi,

Just a thought. I wonder if they could split Bowditch into two
volumes. Volume 1 could be "Modern Electronic Navigation" and
Volume 2 could be "Traditional Celestial Navigation" w/o electronic
aids and would also include a chapter or two on the history of
navigation and the different methods of sight reduction like
they used to have except better.

After thought. Perhaps even a Volume or section on the mathematics
involved. Not a "watered down" 8th stuff, but like the old Norie's
with sections on geometry, trig, and so on.
