A modern way to find an old service. It is sometimes a balancing act to adjust a compass on a small vessel even in the relative calm waters of Auckland Harbour.
On 13 April 2010 swung the compass on the MV Westport in Western Cook Strait using a far off oilrig for an analysis swing before we headed north into strong northerlies. Visual bearings and the GPS were used for the swing.
A new way to find an old-fashioned service by John MacKinnon, Licenced Compass Adjuster NZ. I saw this boat while on a motorbike ride in Chile but never got a chance to see if they needed their compass adjusted.
