    Dear Brad,

    Some ships can maintain an excellent DR during 20 minute time-periods at speeds much faster than 6 kts, hence significantly reducing the box of uncertainty.

    There is also a proven method to reduce systemic errors, namely observing all around the horizon, provided that dip - our greatest unknown - is constant all around which is most often the case.

    You are striving to do your best and to improve in a discipline - CelNav to name it - which is both a Science and an Art.
    Nowadays - and for the time being - you can even check your performance anytime and anywhere on Earth.
    As you are also enjoying some kind of honest pride through it, does it not matter too ?
