Hello Joe,
I saw your FaceBook post and looked at your numbers in my Excel spreadsheet application, the sights looked really good, all within 1.5 NM of your actual position - well done!
I guess the reason you show angular seconds in your calculation due to your sextant reading in seconds? In my opinion, best to show only angular minutes and decimals of minutes in your calculation form to avoid errors.
Yours aye,
