| That is one of the disadvantages to using zone time, always have to figure an adjustment for your actual longitude difference from the standard meridian. On a slow moving sailboat keeping "ship's time" by ringing eight bells at the time of the noon sight, "make it noon and turn the glass and pipe the crew to supper" as Captain Aubry would say, the advantage is that morning twilight, sunrise, sunset and evening twilight will happen at just about the same time on the ship's clock every day so you can leave the alarm on your alarm clock set as long as you adjust your alarm clock to ship's time and not miss the morning stars. gl --- On Sun, 5/29/11, Greg Rudzinski <gregrudzinski@yahoo.com> wrote:
