So, how do we split the point and assist? Or do we each get half a sack?

The funny thing is that every beginner plots a noon sight and has the moment of
realization that the Sun "hangs" at an essentially constant altitude for several
minutes. Clearly Neal has never done this. Its a perfect example of someone
that reads a book once but refuses to learn from anyone - its just like his
understanding of the rules.

Right on Jeff,

You sprung the time trap on Longitude that I'd set up for Neal. It
didn't take you anytime at all. I raise my glass to you! You even picked
up the error of Mr Davis. They recommend using the plastic model for
practise only.

I'll only mention that a ten mile error is over the horizon and out of
sight. This in real voyaging could make DED course selection rather
iffy. I guess tied to a mooring overcomes that problem.

Good Job Jeff!
