No way! Looky at all the help I received from the XO. I did not even know the term until he asked the question! Merle pointed that EACH merchant watch officer does his own navigation. 95 percent of Naval officers have not a clue and only a glancing exposure to the subject!

Dude no. I was not going to memorize 250 chart plot questions for the three charts I could get I was just going to memorize Chesapeake Bay as that seems to be the one most people get often but I was going to know how to do the problems I’m not going in blind not knowing how to do any chart ploting t…

Sounds a lot like that break bulk outfit out of Washington State. My pal worked there for a bit and definitely had a good cry over it. Hahaha fantastic.

I know it sounds too good to be true but I improved my chart plot results tremendously by sharpening my pencil after each plot. Sounds nuts but it works.
