When pigs learn to fly.

I have tried bubble horizons at sea on numerous occasions. Even in a
moderate sea, the bubble scoots around like a ferret on speed. An averager
won't help in this case because it will just average out a series of
demented observations. The averager was designed for the relatively smooth
platform of large aircraft. It was never intended for use at sea.

Trust me, I have tried many times. Even on a calm sea, using a bubble
horizon can be tricky.

cheers,

Robert
