George you wrote: "I was (somewhat reluctantly) convinced by his arguments, in that earlier correspondence in 2003, to the effect that there's no evidence of more than a single lunar-distance observation in Slocum's whole circumnavigation." Oh good. I didn't think I had convinced you back then. Miraculously (so it seems to me anyway), it turns out that there is more solid evidence confirming this. I'll post it later today. -FER http://www.HistoricalAtlas.com/lunars
