Hi GR, looking back at notes something is drastically amiss, I will rework and compare with your plot.

Mike,
Did you advance the stars to 1955 ? If all stars are plotted from the assumed position without advancing then a perfect pin wheel results at your posted position but the vessel in question is traveling on course 111.3* true at a speed of 7.8 kts.

Hi NA,also my fix yielded 36 09.0N,10 59.4E very close to SS 13 of 36 08.9,10 59.3. If you require any more details I will be glad to supply them.
