How to navigate

Postby Lophophaps » Mon 14 Jul, 2014 8:57 am

Pretty *&^%$#! poor. Didn't even give a bearing for the two sea kayak legs of over 5000m. Bound to get lost!

Here's a question. How does one adjust for magnetic declination whilst going across a few thousand km across the ocean? Do marine compasses have declination adjustments? Or do they just use GPS or sextant?
Just move it!

ROFL! What if the compass or GPS is faulty, or winds and tide blows the kayaker back to Australia. Will he end up in Sri Lanka or Manus Island? I'm not sure what a sextant is - sex in a tent? I can't see this happening in a kayak.

It's ok, he'll likely to get picked up by a RAN patrol boat and we'll never hear about it. It didn't happen. :)
