George and all,I only meant to show another technique to people who may not
have been aware of it.Maybe it wasn't the smartest thing to show a new-comer
to CN and talk it up as I did.I only wished to show how the relationship at
LAN can be used if needed.I wrote that the results were questionable useing
this method.But it is a tool none the less if you are in a position where it
is all you may have.I was shown the technique by an "old salt" while working
at sea years ago.It was explained to me about as I explained it.
For all the people learning this stuff please take this into
consideration.But I hope you see the relationship between you and the Sun at
LAN.
What is your idea of "passable"?If it is the only thing you have to use in a
situation,use it.Your dr could be off vastly especially during a storm and
it may be days before you get to take another sight since the Lan sight,so
you can't say for all situations it is worthless.Something is better than
nothing in the real world is what I was taught.I guess you have to use
common sense as to the time or situation to use all these tools.
George,I don't know about you but I can time the noon shot alot closer to
the actual Merridian Passage than you wrote of in your post.What's so hard
about doing it?
I'm sorry to dissapointed you  but I stand by what I wrote if taken in
context.
