Exercise is bunk.If you are healthy,you do not need it;if you are sick you should not take it.

Take a look to the west at night - new moon with Jupiter above it and (last night) Venus to its NE. Beautiful sight.

Hello Arthur.had a look the night before last.New moon + Venus very close together.Looked early evening so sky was still blue with bit of a sunset , absolutely stunning and of course Jupiter up a bit and to the left.Still have not seen Mercury yet.

At this lat (27N) Mercury is about two fists, at arms length, above the horizon about 45 min after sunset, but it doesn't hang about for long.

Is that how you navigate then Arthur? All fists & thumb widths?

;-)

 

[ArthurWood]

Well, Col, it's mostly by the colour of the water, down here, but whatever works best is fine by me.

Had a great day out,but as ususal had problems.Next time the wife brings that low fat spread muck i am not going out.Bit sunburnt and we saw a seal.Day was made better of course knowing that all the Solent sailers/sailerettes were sweating over a hot computor somewhere.
