Monte: Back when I was doing my bluewater sailing I used DR for what ever my position guess was. Pre-1995 Bowditch has a different glossary than the 1995 edition, which negates Speed Made Good. I have several "old" DOS nav programs that use varients. Several different countries use different definitions. Anyhow, back sometime after we left Djoubiti in Silicon Sea it was decided to use glossary that would fit Silicon Sea. Most of my terminology comes from Navig94, that's what I use for most of the calculations. > BUT, IS NOT THAT THE CORRECT TERMINOLOGY......DR POSITION FOR CELESTIAL > MEANS YOUR BEST GUESS AND THAT CORRELATES TO A DEAD RECONNED POSITION > BASED ON COURSE MADE GOOD AND SPEED W/ CURRENTS ADDED IN ........ > > JUST A THOUGHT > > MONTE Dan Hogan WA6PBY dhhogan@XXX.XXX Catalina 27 "GACHA" =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-= =-= TO UNSUBSCRIBE, send this message to majordomo@XXX.XXX: =-= =-= navigation =-= =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=
