Bowditch

Subject: Bowditch

Well, it looks like from the response about splitting Bowditch that
Celestial Navigation is a thing of the past. Maybe it might be
worthy of an appendix as a "backup" method.

Wonder what's going to happen when at a very inconvenient time
someone decides to turn off ( and they will ) the GPS.

Second thought. I would urge people not to buy "e-books" with
all kinds of restrictions placed on them. E-books are a menace
to freedom. Checkout the philosophy section at http://www.gnu.org
and the writings Lawrence Lessig and Richard Stallman.

Instead of "Pay per view" if we are not careful, we are going
to end up with "Pay per read".
