Bill, > As I write to Alex: "Spring break on a beach in Michigan in winter. 80+ > F and people in swimsuits and swimming. If you can believe that, 10' > ought to be a easy! I very strongly disagree with this statement! For me, it is easier to imagine green men suddenly landing in Norte Dame, than that the dip correction at a sea or a large lake can be positive. Bill, you are talking about leap and other seconds, UTC UT1 and other stuff. All this may be interesting in itself, but I do not want to repeat the joke about the Egyptian mummy. The most relevant question for THIS discussion in the following: "Are you 100% sure that your watch showed the same time (I mean MINUTE, not second!) as GPS at any time during our stay on the shore on March 17" ? And if yes, when was this? Before the sunset?" Alex.
