    Thanks, Stan. Every so often 'we happy few' do get ours back.  :-)

    Hewitt,

    Some of us righties have had to learn to write lefty!

    Ha!  Not really, at least in my case.  But, seriously, I can see your point.  Never thought about it that way.

    FWIW re southpaws and sextants:

    I'm left-handed and liked the fact that holding the sextant with my right hand I did not have to let go of the sextant or shift it to the other hand in order to write down sights. So, to me being a lefty is an advantage.

    Yes, that was apparent to me.  I thought my quotation marks and smiley would be enough.  :-(

    I thought it was particularly timely in light of Frank's recent "oops" saying that sextants favored left-handed people.

    Stan,
    The negative was probably transposed in the dark room. Any visible arc numbers or lettering should verify this.

    I finally got around to watching the first of the three episodes. The original expedition must have had money to spare. The photograph of Worsley shows him holding a "custom left-handed" Hezzanith sextant. ;-)
