I went to Lake Michigan on this beautiful Spring (*) morning with a couple of sextants in hand to do some Sun sights. I parked at Montrose Harbor, walked to the shore, and what should I see forty feet south of me? A guy with a sextant shooting sights of the Sun. These things don't happen...
I had my Astra and an 1840s octant. He had a USN Mk.II in very fine condition.

(*) I believe in meteorological Spring --not those silly astronomical seasons. Spring began ten days ago.
