In Response To: Re: Story about that cross track error... (Peter)

I, like many others I'm sure, have witnessed the same. The equipment today has narrowed the "roads" to and from the canyons, fishing spots to narrow highways. I was taught by old schoolers[before electronics]. The first loran I used was out of a WW 2 bomber and you had to count the "humps" at different settings to get the loran number[its a wonder any bombs hit their targets]. and I have experienced loran loss, way offshore/gas motors. My eyes frequently scan the compass. Richie super sport.
