Default Greenwich.. International Date Line.. and 3 seconds
I have presented the interesting navigational fact that
in the space of 3 seconds just at the International
Date Line the sailor will have the extraordinary
experience of living through 3 days Sunday Monday Tuesday.
It was amazing that NOT A SINGLE sailor here was
aware of this event.
