Even tho my eyes are getting older (moreso than the rest of me, it seems

), I've learned to trust them more than my GPS OR my
charts here in the
eastern Caribbean. Features on the
charts that have been here for hundreds of years can be hundreds of feet away from where the chart places them.
Being used to spot-on accuracy, for the most part, in the US, I was a bit flabbergasted the first time I experienced this as navigator on a boat making landfall in the
BVI in the middle of a moonless night.
