Agreed Frank. I will even offer up that exemplar of navigation, Frank Worsley, who navigated by time sights, on that famous sail from Elephant Island to South Georgia island in the 1900's. His account is offered in his book and in his navigation log book which lives in a museum. Was that appropriate 50 years after Sumner provided his method? Some would argue that it wouldn't meet the navigation standard of the day, yet it is hard to argue with success. I saw two highly intelligent folks (you and George) locked in a cross argument and was hoping to break the log jam. Apparently, the jam is broken!
