As Ferfal noted, the barometer lets you predict the weather-- even more important at sea than on land.<br /><br />Ferfal, you might look into learning to handle a sailboat --it would give you a very useful backdoor exit and the boys would probably find it a lot of fun. Learning how to handle a daysailer in protected waters can probably be learned in a weekend or two. Coastal sailing would probably take a few more weekends once you had some experience.<br /><br /> However, ocean sailing is very dangerous if you don't know what you are doing and takes a lot more training. <br /><br />The Royal Yacht Association and American Sailing Association define several levels of expertise and describe the training progression.Don Williamsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-18902798228585784612012-08-02T10:12:55.946-07:002012-08-02T10:12:55.946-07:00I love how handy this watch could be in a fix.

I do wonder how accurate the other parts of the watch stay over a long period if already the altitude function needs to be re-tuned.Anthony Joneshttp://www.uhrwelt.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-53224854937681201482012-08-01T18:07:37.639-07:002012-08-01T18:07:37.639-07:001) But..but..but what if another nuclear reactor m...1) But..but..but what if another nuclear reactor melts down? Do you think the French are more disciplined than the Japanese and Russians? And they are just across the Channel from you now --not on the far side of the world.<br /><br />And what about terrorist setting off a nuke?<br /><br />You need a watch that can detect FALLOUT. GAMMA Radiation. You need ..Gammawatch!<br /><br />http://www.radjournal.com/articles/Gammawatch/gwatch.htm<br /><br />ha ha. I don't know if it works well or if it is a piece of crap but it would definitely put the Rolex wearers in their place.<br /><br />By the way, I believe your Casio can read altitude (straight forward mapping from barometric pressure to altitude). If so, then it could be helpful in finding your likely location if you ever get fogged in while hiking in the mountains (e.g, in the Alps.) Assuming that you also have a topo map, you can find the altitude line on the map corresponding to what you are reading on your watch. Might be helpful to know if you are heading toward the edge of a cliff.Don Williamsnoreply@blogger.com
