Arthur Pearson was expecting to be cruising the Grenadines this month, and taking some lunars. No more time than he'd have to get used to the motion of the boat, seems to me he'd be lucky to get reasonable altitudes, let alone lunars. My notion is, you must be well adapted to the motion and, after that, get plenty of practice, before you can expect to get trustworthy lunars from a small boat. Arthur's experience may prove me wrong. But whatever his experience, I hope he'll fill us in. Bruce
