Navigation instruments

As part of rewire I've put in a new compass with a light so I can find my cocoa better and an echo sounder that doesn't go round like a novelty bow tie. In case I actually leave the berth was thinking about installing a stone circle - apparently they're used for astronomical purposes. Are they line of sight or could I have it at chart table ?

As long as you can use it with an artificial horizon. Forget all that bucket of water stuff; mercury is the Fluid for the Druid.

Yeahbut, even without a big crew the stones would be manageable. Apply the homeopathic principle and the smaller they are the larger the gain, so could have a handheld. Dunno about runes ; heard that American VHFs off ebay have different channels - could be the same with Norse

I always thought that a norse was an equine quadraped, and not much use at sea.

Grand things on land, mind you.

Or maybe a rocki_norse would be more appropriate!
