You don't necessarily need stars. Try vertical or horizontal sextant angles. It is generally agreed that horizontal sextant angles is the most accurate means of visual position fixing and can be a useful way of getting used to your new instrument. You will need the right tables for vertical SAs though.

Enjoy your pressie and a Merry Christmas to you

Thank's for the kind words, I live on the top of a hill in the middle of Yorkshire, can't wait to get to the brown stuff the call the Humber. am going to use if for a trip from across the pond around May 2004. I have a very soft spot for Devon & Cornwall, have got some great stories from my Hippy days down there!!

Merry Christmas to one and all

Terminology

>just won a nice s/h sextant on ebay,<

I know sailing is all about self-delusion, but 'won'?

Surely you mean you paid more than any other sucker?

Reedantry once again

To be strictly accurate he didn't win the sextant, he won the auction. Whether he paid more than other suckers depends on whether
a) You call him a sucker
b) You call the other bidders suckers
c) The sextant is good value for money

Merry Christmas, Ken

Re: Terminology

Dear Mrs Wishbone,

I am writing to let you know that your husband has secretly been buying more expensive boating bits. As it is Christmas you should demand an even more expensive present.
