What's it like to steer a large ship. Or any ship.
And what are the lag times for changing course? Have wondered about that at times.
"Yeah keep your eyes on the road your hands upon the wheel" Sort of.

Only a helmsman would know. I guess. Last known bearing? Combination to Medical Liquor Locker? Foreign phone number? Sports statistic?
I'm getting a headache!
Golly!
