Do you know how to use a sextant already? If not, learn that instead. Far more useful a tool IMHO.

I need something to keep me busy during the cold unsailable months.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
