CORRECTION TO THE FINE TUNING !
In my last Post, I wrote :

Final (averaged) Sextant Distance UT = 18h13m17.5s N46°36'.6 W002°29'.1
Let's then compare with the Ship Navigation System position :
Ship's position at UT = 18h13m17.5s was N46°37'.0 E002°26'1
EXCELLENT RESULT INDEED : just 0.4' off in Latitude, and 3'.0 in Longitude !!! YOU ACED IT !

Well ... it should have read as follows :
Final (averaged) Sextant Distance UT = 18h13m57.5s N46°36'.6 W002°29'.1
Let's then compare with the Ship Navigation System position :
Ship's position at UT = 18h13m57.5s was N46°36'.8 W002°25'8
EXCELLENT RESULT INDEED : just 0.2' off in Latitude, and 3'.3 in Longitude now !!! YOU ACED IT !
IMPORTANT NOTE : Dear Lars, you still belong to our (hyper select indeed !!!) DIAMOND Club, more than ever ... Yes ! and you are even NUMBER ONE actually since your position has now become the closest one from true position.
Friendly Regards
Kermit
