Looks like a nice day here. 28C forecast and clear skies. I will take a noon shot for old times solstice sake.
Heading inland tomorrow for Christmas, it will be hot, around 40C. The aircon will be full on car and house.
I will take a few sights en route, note the GPS readings and work them out to see how accurate I was when I get home.
An Alpha 40 with a bubble horizon is the sextant of choice for this run.
Take it easy.
