Greg & Lars,
I, too did equal altitude and drew ( several ) graphs and came to a time of LAN about 1668z but then looked again at the raw data. The time for the max Hs is over two minutes later at 1700:38. Does the sun really hang that long at noon.
You both have much more time looking through the sextant than I do but it just does not seem it would hang that long.
John H.
