Repeat of previous message.  Corrected a few typos.
Need to proofread better.

Just rented the movie "Adrift" staring Kate Jackson.
In the movie she and her husband are on a really nice
( really really nice ) sail boat. She is using what looked like
to me to be about a $2,000 Tamyra sextant. She had a lanyard, but
was not using it. When she took her Sun shot she set the sextant
down to write on something and "get this", she set it face down so
the feet were pointing up into the air! The weight of the sextant
was then resting on the scale, shades, scope, etc.

Wonder if anyone else has noticed stuff like this in movies.

I have also noticed it happens with radio too. They are trying to
contact someone on a "Ham" radio and the operator is constantly changing
the frequency by messing with the dial or not pushing in the mike button
or holding the mike button in while a recieving a transmission which
he could not possibily hear with his mike on.
