Since my trailing Knotstick speed meter reads out in knots....and I usually
use only _ statue miles_ I have to calculate back the other way...knots -
to mph. ;-D>. Despite my constant desire and enjoyment to buy and
mess around with gizzmos....the only three pieces of nav gear I _really_
use are my binoculars, my chart and my wrist watch [ to make sure I get
home in time for dinner and/or launch and land at proper time vs the tides
! ]. ;-D>
