Hi Fellow Nav Enthusiasts:
My name is Stuart, and I live in Portland, Maine (USA). I recently picked up a copy of The Ultimate Navigation Manual (an excellent read by the way) and learned about this forum.
A little about myself: I am an Eagle Scout with a degree in Physical Geography and work as a Preparedness Consultant.
I have always had an interest in maps and navigation. I have navigated underwater (SCUBA), shots star sights using a sextant offshore, and of course, done land navigation. I haven't done navigation via plane yet, but it is on my list to do.
I also should mention that I volunteer as a member of the Pine Tree Search and Rescue Team(http://www.pinetreesar.com) here in southern Maine.
Look forward to discussing navigation ideas, problems, and techniques.

Thanks all for the warm welcome.
Lyle- the mother's side of the family did come across from the UK about 3 generations ago. I'm sure I have some relatives there. ;)
