Don't thinks so...but my most recent issue of Cruising World was accompanied by a catalog from this company

http://www.celestaire.com

I know absolutely nothing about this company but looks to offer quite a few neat gadgets.

Being a Voice Systems Engineer, I wax nostalgic (man am I getting old) when I see one of the old dial phones above their toll free number.

The local Community college is offering a class on how to use a Sextants this winter. I think the coat is 25 bucks. I'll be there. Cheers.

I don't plan on going over the horizon, but if I do and they turn off the satellites (I have 2 GPSs), I'll just point the compass NW and figure out where I am (dead-reckoning) when I see America again.

A cheap plug:
I joined the Power Squadron a few years ago and have been taking some of the many good courses they offer. I'm so impressed with it that they even have me teaching some. I recently brought up the subject at our Sailing Club and got 25 people to join. They have taken Seamanship and are in the midst of Piloting to be followed by Advanced Piloting. Navigation-celestial and GPS will follow that. Great education for thoes wanting to sharpen their skills. You can get to your local squadron by googling United States Power Squadron. Check it out. Good winter project.
