question for Brook
So it was called "The Night of the Sextants," but what did that mean? That should be a good JC story.

A sextant is and was used by mariners to determine thier position via the stars, by counting the degrees from a known position that the sun/moon/north star would rise, or during the day from where the sun was vs its known position by a prior point. With that info you could figure out where you were/are,, and try to figure out where you wanted to go,,, the use of a sextant marked the changing of course....
That's a cool connection, Bill. Were you participating that night?
