    Hello,

    I am at present afloat in my boat, in the eastern Atlantic.  The forecast is bad.  If I sink tonight, and make it into my liferaft, I will time the moment the rising sun lower limb reaches half a sun’s diameter above the horizon.

    No have sextant, no have versines.  My longitude will be sun GHA plus 90°.
