That is amazing @LorenzoHagerty! Thank you for sharing your story, and what a timing! I was just looking for a sextant on amazon.com trying to figure which one to get (i still don't know)... I would like to learn celestial navigation; My father and I love astronomy and I can easily point at constellations and stars. And just the other say I was sailing at nighttime and looking at all the stars, spotting Polaris, and thinking that I really need to learn celestial navigation.
May I ask, what sextant would you recommend for a newbie (but a serious newbie :D) ? and also would you ever consider teaching other sailors and sharing this incredible skill of yours?
Resteemed!
