what is where and when is when?
19:07.14S 163:31.1W The subject refers to two mind twisters we have. We
have been diligently charting our positions and where possible, usually,
checking islands and reefs and etc on on paper charts, the electronic charts
and guide books. We then have been laying courses assuming we are giving
these landmarks or obstructions wide berths and allowances. Now all over
the paper charts for this area, there are notations referring to a reef
or island, saying notwithstanding the charted position, the “real”
postion has been reported has couple of miles this way or that.
Very surprising and disconcerting in this day of digital mapping and google
earth. Anyway, more work for plotting. As to when; we have read over and over that WE are 330 miles from We are getting separated from our SSB friends and radio
connection is getting harder. Will try again this morning. Babelfish Ps |
