Dear Jean-Philippe, > How is your foot heeling? Hope you are in good shape again. Thanks. It apparently healed.

It features exactly what you > are looking for in a good sextant. Indeed, it seems like a good sextant for the kind of sailing I do (1 or 2 weeks per year with a lot of airplane flying:-) mainly because it is cheap and robust, so I will not worry much checking it as a luggage. But most of my Cel Nav activity is land observations from my home, and for this I would like to have a most precise instrument available. Alex
