I'd recommend the Davis Mark 25 plastic sextant, the one with the
vernier adjusting knob.

You might be able to pick one up on EBAY.

Why are you taking such a useless class? Spend your time more wisely.
Enroll in a class to learn how to knap Clovis points.

It looks interesting but at 4 inches high seems a bit too small to
actually use. I've owned a plastic Davis for a long time and it has
about the same size and feel as a real sextant.

Poor Joe! He never was much of a sailor but managed to talk a good game.
Apparently, he learned everything he knows about sailing from the good Capt.
Neal®. Now, the unfortunate soul's given up completely on sailing. Joe
doesn't even own a sailboat.

Joe's got grandiose plans to build some sailing freighter but hasn't the
funds and won't get them for twenty years or more trying to sell overpriced
coffee that he advertises as being "green" but is causing just as much
pollution as any other coffee in the way it is processed and transported.
His entire business model is a shambles and a lie.

Whooo... he's all turned on because of the letters SEX in the subject. He's a rapist who can't get it up.

He's really just a faggot who got butt-fucked in jail.

Actually "Gregory" considers you under privileged in that you have
only two names, "Pennington" and"Rexroth" while "Gregory"
has hundreds,

Wilbur Hubbard/Gregory Hall/Gwen Ives/Cecil Warren/Capt.Neal/Simple
Simon/Ellen MacArthur/Ed Gordon873/Gloria/Wesley Mouch/Aratzio/Atlas
Bugged/Jamie Baille/Lumpy/Karen Anderson/GitRDunn/Phat_Arse/Jeff
Relf/Blondie/Capt. Moroon/Capt. America/Cap'n Crunch/Marcia/Lawrence
Stone/Key WestWym/Capt. Key West/Lonnie Anderson/Margaret/Jax Ashby,

are only some of his personas.

Bipolar disorder?

Cheers,

Bruce
