I was just thinking the same thing. It's better than cows or British Motor Cars.
Some older offshore sailors have said to me 'all you *really* need is latitude, and you can get home from there.' That makes sense, if you think about it. I don't think I could do a star sight anyway -- even on a clear night I can only see a few stars. Getting older is a drag... I was really looking forward to being a couple of hundred miles off shore and seeing the stars without any interference from land lights, hoping to recapture the awe I felt 30 years ago when sitting on a mountain top and looking up.
I did go shopping on eBay for a good sextant, but didn't know enough to differentiate between the real ones and the conversation pieces. Clearly, I should have asked this list.
