Frank, you recommended: "... you could try the old 19th-century
standard trick: get down low." In order to use this trick one must
first realise that there is a problem with the horizon. In a lot of
cases these situations are however absolutely not obvious. The
features which I mentioned can give the impression of seeing a clear
horizon. I guess that this must be even more the case when being in
the open sea without any other references. With the photos one has the
advantage of reevaluating a situation in more detail when working in
the electronic dark room. When measuring with the sextant you are
forced to trust that what you have seen at a given moment was correct.
