I too have seen some of that show.
It is hard to understand how stupid some are.
Simple questions as mentioned by Des just shows how bad they all are.

Now back to the circles, easy one to understand, just do what some govs do, run around them.

Additive to #18 RA was just another name for your longitude in a different manner..as easterly and westerly hour angles were done away with later and the term was LHA.
A sidereal day or star day you should remember as I can ,and was 23 hrs 56 minutes and 27 seconds. Or so I have believed for many years.. 70 at least. Cheers JS

One thing I have learned from life one keeps on learning, I left school a complete dunce, but with the help of my wife I have reached great heights LoL. She helped me through my carpentry course.
A game on TV , Letters and numbers is on every night , I am now so quick at working out maths answers I sometimes beat my wife at it, why couldn't I do that at school?
But it just shows how one can slip. Last night on a game on TV called Tipping point from the UK, a two year retired MN Captain was up against a young girl, the question, "what is the name of the island opposite the Straits of Messina and Italy?" His answer was Turkey?

Des, every one is good at something, it also depends on your teachers to recognise your potential and develope it.

Pretty sure that if you have your nories tables, in the front pages there is a pro forma template that shows you how to obtain the position line from your sextant angle.

John, just looked at my Nories pages 12-50 and am surprised at the number of things I have forgotten

Bet it doesn’t show you how to use the C correction from your ABC tables to apply your Longitude correction at Noon though ? Cheers JS
If you still have your Nories does it tell you the definition of a Meridian part , e.g.i assume every navigator can remember Dlong upon DMP = Tangent of the course. Another among the many hundreds of formulae and definitions that seem to stick for this lifetime is…” it is the number of minutes of longitude contained in an arc of longitude between the equator and that latitude”. And so the brainwashing goes on. JS

I now have a voyage plan.
Next Saturday we are taking a cruise voyage to NZ.

[j.sabourn]

Make sure the ship has plenty of bunkers John , even though it maybe only Victoria Bitter. JS
PS By rights it should be at least 30 % above expected consumption, hope you remember to sing the Māori Farewell Song on your departure from the land of the long white Cloud , and is.not black when you leave. Have a good Xmas am sure Santa will be on the same ship.Cheers JS.

#27 Tell me John, is the biggest trauma on a voyage like that , is putting all the clocks on or back a mighty vessel like that the highlight of the voyage? Or does someone just press a button and this fellow A1 do it. Cheers JS

I wonder if you can still get draught Bass in NZ? I recall that Leopard lager in NZ was good as well,
