    Agreed Frank.  
    
    I will even offer up that exemplar of navigation, Frank Worsley, who navigated 
    by time sights, on that famous sail from Elephant Island to South Georgia 
    island in the 1900's.  His account is offered in his book and in his 
    navigation log book which lives in a museum.  Was that appropriate 50 years 
    after Sumner provided his method?  Some would argue that it wouldn't meet the 
    navigation standard of the day, yet it is hard to argue with success.
    
    I saw two highly intelligent folks (you and George) locked in a cross argument 
    and was hoping to break the log jam.  Apparently, the jam is broken!
    
    Best Regards
    Brad
