Thanks Ed, Thats what I do now. I watch the Can and Nun markers to help keep me in tune with the the tide. You are right about the time flexibility as well. I 'm not ridge and can very well adapt to a different time or schedule. I have a real sense of urgency and can not keep putting it off. I have been out to the point were land is out of sight maybe 10 or 12 times. A night sail under a full moon with a brand new Garmin Echo50s and a back Garmin 215 as a back up unit and a hand held 72. I need to get the training done. This March will be the beginning of my 3rd year. I have a 5 year plan that I must meet. My god! I turned 50 this year there's no time to lose. I am so late. I will be safe. I will have another competent sailor on board incase I get into trouble. All good advise, Thanks, Curt
