Title: Greetings from the other side of the Pond
Post by: Angle of Repose on January 29, 2014, 08:40:39 PM
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.  ;)
