Star altitudes at 8 AM on a spring morning, at that latitude? I'm guessing the terms AM and PM got mixed up. I believe Spical would have been on the meridian at 8 PM about the middle of June. I'm interested in "Course full and by." Does this mean they were on whaling grounds and cruising back and forth across the wind, keeping their reckoning only in the back of their heads? That would have been the reasonable thing to do, it seems to me. Bruce
