Reading the posts it seems that if you go a day or two without a fix because of weather then get a great 3 star fix you will update your position and start your DR from your new fix. Was the boat in danger or in violation of some law during the day of no fix?
Suppose you are in mid-ocean and your boat is run down by a tanker with no look-out, or the engines on your plane ice up and you have to ditch in the ocean. You have time to make a May-Day distress call and you are asked to give your position......
