Blue Water Sailing<\/em>\u00a0hat.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Congratulations to Chuck Emerich who correctly identified the dog watch.\u00a0In\u00a0marine\u00a0or\u00a0naval\u00a0terminology, it is a\u00a0watch, a period of work duty or a\u00a0work shift, between 16:00 and 20:00 (4 pm and 8 pm). This period is split into two, with the ‘first’ dog watch from 16:00 to 18:00 (4 pm to 6 pm) and the ‘last’ dog watch from 18:00 to 20:00 (6 pm to 8 pm). Each of these watches is half the length of a standard watch.<\/p>\n

We have a guest Mindbender from Dana Dupar who wants to find out what symbols on her chart stand for. “I have a question for Mindbender, as I don’t know the answer but would like one.\u00a0 The symbols are three crosses which\u00a0 show on my Memory-Map navigation app. One has no additions, one has little boxes in each quadrant (circled) and one has dashes off each arm of the cross.\u00a0 \u00a0I looked at the NOAA US Chart No. 1, but could not find it listed.\u00a0 This is from an electronic version of a NOAA chart, 18649 San Francisco Entrance.\u00a0 Thanks for your help.” Send your answer to\u00a0cruisingcompass@bwsailing.com. The winner, selected randomly from correct answers, will receive a\u00a0Blue Water Sailing\u00a0hat.
