Re: Annoying popups appear constantly on this forum with iPad. Please fix!

It is a Dunsel.

Re: Is a Compass your Primary Navigation Instrument or Back Up?

I spent some time on Point Bridge in MDR, CA and every weekend we were 'saving' some poor wretch who sailed his boat into the pipelines south of the marina or some other bit of lunacy because he...
