More interviews, using a compass on a nautical map

After breakfast of pancakes, I interviewed Robert and Jimmy. Such interesting stories - I think my students will be inspired if they will read about the people on board. We will be at the next testing site in two hours. Tom taught me how to use a compass to measure distance on a nautical map. Each latitude is 60 nautical miles. You adjust the compass to that size on the map and measure it out. We spent the rest of the day taking samples.
