For what it's worth, here's a piece of mine that has appeared in the
September/October issue of Navigation News. That's the more populist journal
of the Royal Institute of Navigation, compared with the serious Journal of
Navigation.

Sorry about the rather lurid pictorial decoration; my preference is for
simple black-on-white. However, it gives you a chance to see the handsome
figure using my sextant, none other than Alex Eremenko, who visited us here
one weekend in the Summer.

Those who have visited, or partaken in the updating of the Wikipedia entry
on Lunar Distance (navigation) will note some similarities, that are not
entirely accidental; particularly in the diagram, which was drawn by
listmember Clive Sutherland.

I'm keen to hear any comments from the list, and particularly to have any
errors pointed out, though it's far too late to correct now. I would have
liked to put in a bit more detail about clearing a lunar, and something
about the French contributions, but space was short.

George.
