Pack your old sextant before this weekend cruise. GPS System Time rolls over at midnight Saturday. Newer receivers should be OK but old ones may think it's 6 January 1980, and heaven knows where it thinks you are.For more info check the USCG web-site:http://www.navcen.uscg.mil/gps/geninfo/y2k/USCG Groups have broadcast announcements this week but the weekend sailors probably haven't been warned. Even owners of new GPS units should be prepared with alternate nav aids this weekend. But isn't that what the 'startup' page always told us? Ken S/V Wouff Hong
