Have one on me,

Jeff,

The Noon sight would still have to be averaged as with a sextant. I
thought I took enough time.

About checking your fist and knuckles. It is done very easy. Stand in
the corner of a room, extend your fist and check how many fist it takes
to get 90 Degrees. (Two walls)

Give it a try. Its fun. Also telling time. A good estimate of time to
sunset. When the wind stops give you something to do. When your becalmed
the mast give a pretty good vertical reference point.
