All you guys pushing  Lunars, get on a sailboat and try a set of
Lunar Distance sights. Then do a set of "intercept" sights. You can
use a calculator for the Lunars, but think about having to use a set
of Trig Tables instead. THEN compare the two fixes.

I have already done this. Lunars are better than NO longitude, but
not much better than a good DR.

IMHO the cheapest and easiest system (other than LOP) is the
chronmeter time sight. Charts NOT required.
