David, I too navigate with a Timex. Mine is a Timex "Indiglo" which cost about $15 -- if I remember right. It consistently looses about one second in four months. Timepieces are one of the ways CN has changed in the age of GPS. You can always check your watch against the GPS time. And there is no need for a mate to write down the sight time at your call of "mark". You can quickly look at the seconds digits without any appreciable loss of time. No need to keep a chronometer log and make watch corrections. Welcome to CN in the GPS age, JK --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ NavList message boards: www.fer3.com/arc Or post by email to: NavList@fer3.com To , email NavList+@fer3.com -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
