I'm still waiting for your response, Sway. Or have you refused to answer the question because you know how I am going to respond to your answer? Also, how well does it work on inland waterways (close to land) and how far out?

PS Just a hint - I know the answers. If you don't, you can ask any sailor except Popeye or Christopher Columbus. I think even Magellan gave up his Loran for a GPS.... in fact, I know he did. I had his name on one of my first GPS!

HEHE!!!!
