    Re: Sight Reduction Tables for Small Boat Navigation by HewittSchlereth

    Nial, you are entirely welcome. Your reason for being interested in the book is exactly the reason I made it. Back when celestial was the only option for offshore work, I was often on races or doing deliveries. My favorite was 249, which is fine when you are always on your own boat. But when you're going from airport to taxi to marina to foot to ramp to dock to boat... well,  the 'lug factor' does weigh in, doesn't it?  :-)

    Merry Christmas to you,

    Hewitt

    Thank you Sir for your prompt and informative reply. Your book is available on Alibris and I presume on other book sites too. The reason for my interest is because I have a problem using tables, calculators or smart phones inside the cabin on small boats. Particularly in the first few days. Outside I can use Pub. 249 but it's big and heavy to lug around when I help on deliveries.. It's often difficult for me to see a calculator or other tablet outside in bright sunlight. I've tried Davies and Bayless but find them too complicated. When sailing, as you well know, there are a bunch of things to distract one's attention and simpler works for me. My solution in the past has been to take only the pages of 249 that I will be using but your book sounds like a better way to go.
