From Sailing Simplicity: *There is something extremely romantic about celestial navigation. It’s much more than just getting a fix, which is purely utilitarian. As Hewitt Schlereth says in his book Celestial Navigation in a Nutshell, “Why learn celestial navigation? Because it will satisfy your soul”.
To truly know celestial, you need to be in tune with the earth, the heavenly bodies and yourself. For me, it’s a holistic experience that borders on religious which brings me one step closer to the divine inspiration that created the universe.”
