In an earlier message sent today under this threadname, I referred to a
point that had been made by Trevor Kenchington, as follows-
>He is also correct to point out that a vessel departing from any latitude
>(not just the Equator) with a rhumb-line course of 0 degrees will never
>reach either pole.
That should have read-
"He is also correct to point out that a vessel departing from any latitude
(not just the Equator) with a rhumb-line course of 90 degrees will never
reach either pole."
In admitting to one error, I made another. Sorry about that.
George.
