Somehow I screwed the pooch or Navigator rolled itself forward to a June 27 Greenwich date. It now calculates you were located at 76°30!7. No need for an artificial horizon as your backyard would on the beach ;-) A time sight yielded 76° 30' 38.5" (76°30!6 W). A standard reduction with AP at 37° 03!3 N and 76°30' W resulted in a 30.3" away intercept for a longitude of 76°30!5 W. A bit of disagreement there to be sorted out later. Bill B
