    Robert-
     <But I have taken two sights in rapid succession and found the sun was
    going backwards.>

    Don't you just hate it when that happens? Usually means Superman is flying
    very quickly in reverse around the globe, trying to get back into his past
    again. He's terribly inconsiderate that way.<G>

    No, seriously...to Dave...More to the point, wouldn't the difficulty in
    tracking where you thought the horizon might be (as you rolled up and down)
    create more uncertainty in where the horizon was? Unless the swells were
    very gentle and the boat a large ship?
