DATE: May 6, 2006



Darkness is fast approaching!  While the horizon is still visible, deck cadets Osborn and McKay use the ship's gyro compass to determine the bearing of a few select navigational stars. The result of this effort will be an 8:00 pm star fix that will provide the navigator with a position to plot the vessel's course for the next four hours.
