rodheadlee Posted October 29, 2024 Posted October 29, 2024 When we were cruising on our sailboat we went by UTC. We didn't care what time it was anywhere else. Now I'm on Pacific Standard Time I wish we'd go to pacific daylight savings time and keep it there.

In the old days they needed an accurate clock in order to calculate longitude.

We cheated and used GPS but my father in law gave us an atomic watch. It kept perfect time. We kept a running dead reckoning plot every hour unless we were way out then every 4 hours 1
Dario_M Posted November 2, 2024 Author Posted November 2, 2024 Hey guys. I just wanted to mention that tomorrow the time will shift 1 hour back in time in the United States. Don't forget it people! Otherwise you will arrive on the wrong time on church tomorrow. ⛪️🕚 1

It fit a lot better as a birthday gift before they moved it to the first Sunday in November from the last Sunday in October. I keep forgetting they moved it in even though it’s been almost 2 decades, lol.

Dario_M Posted November 4, 2024 Author Posted November 4, 2024 How nice isn't it. Now we are all one hour back. 🕒
Dario_M Posted March 10, 2025 Author Posted March 10, 2025 (edited) I just have noticed that the time have changed into the summer time in the United States. Why have the time changed so early if i may be so free to ask? It's not even springtime yet officially... 🤷♀️ In the Netherlands the time will change on 30 march into the summertime.

We used to change the clocks back in October and then forward in April but they shortened the length of standard time so now we go back in november and forward in march. It doesn't have much to do with the seasons. There are even a few states that don't recognize daylight savings time at all and so their clocks never change.

Really? Wich states? Arizona or so?

Half of it is in the Navajo reservation which follows Daylight Savings and half of it is in the Hopi reservation which doesn't follow Daylight savings. So, you can cross the street and move an hour ahead or backwards. https://apnews.com/article/daylight-saving-arizona-navajo-hopi-native-american-a1016ce873b772ffae544de9fbcd29d9 3

Jeddito is a Navajo exclave inside Hopi Reservation. So there's Jeditto at mountain time, inside of Hopi nation at Pacific time, inside of Navajo Nation at mounntain time, inside of Arizona at Pacific time. 3
