    Derrick - why wouldn't GPS work very well in some areas as you mention
    below?

    Carl,
    
    Yes, I do teach sextant work for coastal piloting.  It is very useful for
    determining where you are (as you know) in areas where LORAN and/or GPS
    don't work very well.  For example some areas off the Virginia coast line
    and in the lower Chesapeake Bay. (more...)
