Hi Alex,

My whole point, of course, being the accuracy of the DR Position and the
"approximate" GMT. The simple fact is that, if you have confidence in your
DR, there really may be little point in considering a Lunar Observation -
given the potential inaccuracies of the latter, it may simply serve to
confuse the issue. Better advice might be to keep the lead going and to
maintain a sharp lookout, remembering always the four (4) Ls of navigation,
i.e., Latitude + Longitude + Lead + Lookout.

Regards,

Henry
