Gary: I agree completely, but my basic equation for the difference between the measured time of maximum altitude and LAN considers the change in longitude. I dismissed that as inconsequential for small boat sailing. Your B-52 example wakes me up, in that it then may be a significant factor. So my equation becomes more complicated for non-sailors. I'm not going to worry about it. Jim Wilson ____________________________________________________________ Hotel pics, info and virtual tours.
