Here are partial results for Leg 56. 1. TC & distance to Trans Ocean Point 2 not computed. 2. 124 degrees true, 1480 nm to Cape Horn. 3. Mar 23 1348 Z DR = 50 12 S 82 04 W. Now come the star sights. The round of sights occurs Mar 23 at about 2350 Z. At that time my DR plot = 51 12 S 80 18 W. I'll reduce all sights from that position with HO 211; the sights are close enough together that ship's run is negligible. The only sight I've reduced so far is Sirius. Ho = 50 36, Hc = 55 24! After checking everything, I can't see the problem. What's wrong?
