Jeremy:
A bit off topic but I looked up your position in the Sailing Directions. Are you at anchor in the outer harbor outside the reef? How big is your vessel and what is your cargo? According to SD the Saipan Harbor basin “is encumbered with wrecks”. How good are the charts for the Marianas?
Good navigation!

Thank you for taking the trouble to give us some real celnav
problems. Keep them coming. Some of us are busy with jobs that have
nothing to do with navigation except avoiding traffic jams, and
thunderstorms at Dallas/Ft. Worth, so we may not respond immediately.
Not a problem John. The list motivates me to get the sextant out when I'm on watch as well as here at anchor. It also makes me dust some old cobwebs like using the Equation of time method which I haven't even tried in about 12 years. Since it is a full moon today, I think that I will try a moon line, but I have always had trouble getting an accurate line with the moon.
I lived in North Dallas from 2005-2006. I know all about the "MetroMess." Fortunately since I don't work when I am on land, I avoided traveling during rush hour.
On another topic entirely, I would respectful ask that any flaming be ceased on this thread. I think that it is the spirit of this thread to talk about the LAN navigation exercise I have posted and keep personal issues to either private emails or another thread.
