Celestial Navigation?

I just finished a class on Celestial Navigation and it was a lot of fun and
eye-opening. That stuff is hard! Well, at least at first. One thing for
sure, I'll have to practice it to keep the skills up. How do you folks feel
about Cnav as a backup? Or is everybody just going to carry a bunch of spare
GPS' in faraday cages?

Re - Celestial Navigation skill

I would doubt my results so much that I believe it would be better to dead
reckon to a port or find life on the ocean and follow it to land rather than
go in the circles that my skills would produce.
