That explains it since my position came out slightly west of the island. It should have alerted me to go back and check my work. BTW, I bring up from time to time the question of how precisely you need to know your position. The first approximation, 11.5° S, 150° W , coupled with standing on dry land is all the information you need to determine you are on Flint Island since no other island is near those coordinates. gl --- On Thu, 11/17/11, slk1000@aol.com <slk1000@aol.com> wrote:
