sfGnome Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 What a day! I think I'm grinning more than when I got my cert. Nothing big really, just an exercise Nav I planned inside my 25nm radius, but so much fun! Warnervale, up to my sisters house in Newcastle, Catherine Hill Bay, Barrenjoey, over a mate's place at Bar Point and back home. When I was planning, I used Google Earth to find the Lat and Lon of her & my mate's houses and used that to work out the headings. No GPS, just good old map and compass the whole way. I couldn't recognise her suburb so I just turned when my watch said I should be over her place. Looked at the GPS trace on Google Earth tonight and I turned 800m from her place. Barrenjoey and Broken Bay looked fantastic. Talk about stoked!
