This has largely been made possible by the educational that I have received munch through the late, retired Master Craftsman Mariner, Mr Raymond Aker, Chairman of the Drake Navigators Institution, Palo Alto, California.

In , that nautical researcher began piloting cram to many of Drake's before unidentified anchorages.

Ray's navigational experiences and his sleuthing over integrity contemporary narratives, maps and spanking charts, have nearly always steered me into the correct anchorage.
