Mates, Just returned here, now have to take off for Seattle. We just passed through the Vernal Equinox (first point of Aries, measure siderial time in astronomy) and into spring. So an important distinction of what part of the HO 249 'Tables' is reached, but who cares now with GPS? Interesting trivia in Navigation is the fact that towards the northern 'Solstice' (longest day) due to the elipse of Earth's orbit ol' Sol is a good FOUR MILLION MILES FURTHER away from earth in our summer. A 'blue moon' is when two full moons occur in one calender month. If memory serves, Vernal Equinox is latin for "New Equal" meaning day & night re the same hither & yon; worldwide, but I'm sure you fellas knew that. Great site keep up the good work, let other cars in, and use your turn-signals...;-)

Ron , Don't look at that calender to
determine your age. I think that you have too much yet to do in this world to give any thought to your solsitice. I have been watching Orion on his march westward with the approach of warm weather and realized that we mustn't plant tomatoes yet. Like any navigation method gps only tells us where we were not where we are, if we keep moving.

moss is the true indicator
GPS .... Compass .... the Stars and the Moons.... the easy way for me to know where I am headed is by the moss on me mast .... as long as it keeps growing in the same place I know that I will get to my distination.... and me destination is where ever I drop ye old hook... that is why ye holds are full of stores... it could be a while before ye old hook takes hold.
