I spent several hours with a captain of 120 ft crew boat recently. He said he had a sextant somewhere on board. But he'd have to get the books out to re-learn how to use it. He goes out to 400 miles.

(He's basically a hot-shot boat. Rig needs something NOW, he's their boy. 4, 550 hp supercharged diesels. Keeps 2 spares at the dock and can change one out in 6 hrs.)
