Yes, Stan, I did think about you, but this was a very short and short-notice visit. I decided on Thursday to make a quick round-trip from Annapolis to Newport and back in one day to check on my sailboat which is on the market in Portsmouth. I shall return! Until then, Jackson

Jackson,
Too bad you or Frank did not tell me of your visit. I would have liked to meet you in person.
Next time.
Stan

Thanks, Frank, for sharing some celestial time yesterday and for the insider's guided tour of Jamestown. The island community where you live is a precious gem. Special thanks for allowing me to handle the circa 1840 octant -- a real treat. Jackson

Jackson McDonald stopped by the Ground Facility of NavList Operations today. We drove down to Beavertail and took some sights with an old octant and a Tamaya with a 12x scope. Here's a couple of photos.
