Bill, this is a pointless comment and it adds nothing to this topic.

Someone recently concluded a study of homing pigeons, and their uncanny ability
to return home. Turns out, they navigate mostly by following major paved
roadways!

6. Lunar Distances


Sorry Mensa boy. Most would consider Lunar distances as celestial,
since the moon is a celistial body ya know. Same with a sun line, star
fix ect.

no, "celestial" as the term is used means to use an accurate timepiece. Lunar
distances needs no timepiece at all, let alone an accurate one.

Sorry, Jax... wrong again. You should be proud of your perfect record.

"Celestial" navigation means to use "celestial" bodies. And the lunar
distance is a method of telling time, making the "celestial" bodies
themselves a timepiece. So you are doubly wrong. Your mom would be so proud!

dougies, until I posted you had never even heard of the term "Lunar Distances"
and now you are claiming to be an expert.

wanna show us just which "celestial navigation" course taught just where it is
that includes Lunar Distances as part of the corriculum?

Sorry Jax, but "celestial" is "of the heavens; of the sky" by observing
the sun, moon, planets, stars. Lunar distances fall into this category,
and a timepiece is NOT the major sticking point.
Celestial navigation was around long before an accurate sea going
timepiece was invented.

guys, until yesterday you never even heard of Lunar Distances and today you are
all experts.

Yet, not one of you clowns can find a single course available in "celestial
navigation" that includes Lunar Distances. Not one.

How about:
Depth Sounder
Bottom from lead line
Sound from fog horns & bell/gong buoys
RADAR

Also, "DR" doesn't include Piloting, or using local geographic features.
