I guess I'd pick the best AP I could and take the intersection of the LOP's of each sight, the morning LOP moved along at my course and direction for the day. Not a great fix, but something. Then use that as my new AP and reduce it again. Should be reasonable, if not perfect. And hope you're hundreds of miles from shoal water.
