Certainly a quite nice video, but:
(1) For my ruined ears - even devastated ears - I was a Landing Signal Officer on board Aircraft Carriers, the background music - way too loud - makes it almost unreadable to me. Especially at the beginning the Praeludium in C minor of Part One of the Well Tempered Keyboard by Johan Sebastian Bach takes up all my attention. I cannot unlock my attention from the music itself, since I studied and still play this Music on the Keyboard. Maybe should I try earphones then.
(2) - Cook's very early Lunars in the Pacific were earlier adressed here on NavList (@ 12 to 15 years ago) and I do remember one example with a Lunar distance over 130° . I had just joined NavList then and it prompted me into solving Lunars a different way, since I had only very little programming space left and available on my HP 41.
(3) - I have been reworking a great number of Cook's Lunars published after his subsequent journeys. Most if not all of them are freely downloadable from the net. But for me from France I cannot access this first Pacific Ocean Journey printed report, i.e. the very printed journal the Student is using. It is the one with this 135° LD excerpt earlier published on NavList by Frank long ago (is this specific 135° or so Lunar adressed in the sudent's report ?).
Would it be possible that I get from somebody of you a scanned copy of this First Pacific Journey directly onto my private e-mail box here-under ?
Thanks in advance,
Kermit
