I might tweak this some more, but I can't resist posting this. I am also a poet, working on a book of poetry, much of it nautical, relating to my times at sea ("Sea of Echoes"). After the last few years diving into CNAV in depth, I had to include something on celestial navigation. I've been among the missing lately as my mother fell and broke her hip, but I sat in various hospitals and surgery wards with hours to kill writing this.
Hope it is at least entertaining; on subject, but not sure up to technical standards.............
