No doubt you own a sextant or two, and maybe a chronometer, and a few other antique goodies like I do. But in this day and age these things are no longer necessary for navigation. Not even in emergency situations. Not when everyone has a cell phone with GPS built in. You would be better off finding a solar charger for your cell phone to cope with emergencies than relying on celestial navigation with a sextant and a set of tables. If it gets so bad you can't get any GPS cell phone to work, you are in deep, and you had better be able to figure out how to navigate like the ancient Polynesians.... with no special equipment... which perhaps you already have done because you are a student of the old art or you wouldn't be reading about this almanac.For those of us who still keep the old art alive out of a sense of curiosity or personal enjoyment we need a solution to keeping the necessary data around to reduce our sights. This book is a good step in that direction. It is easy to skip buying a new Nautical Almanac each year just so you can do a handful of practice sights. With this long term almanac you won't have to worry about not having the data on hand.However this almanac's method does allow a certain amount of error to creep in, which is pointed out in the book. So be it. I am happy that someone has gone tot he trouble to create a long term solution, and the errors are small.If you want or really need more precision; or if you are just learning to handle a sextant and want to know that the errors are introduced by you, the operator, not the books, you will have to buy a current nautical almanac and the appropriate sight reduction tables. Hopefully they will continue to publish them.If you just want a book on your shelf that you can pull down now, or next year, or in 2029 to use to practice with or demonstrate your antiques, this book will be plenty. And if you are still of the mind that you figure you might one day have to actually navigate with a sextant on your world voyage, the solutions from this book would be plenty good enough to keep you out of trouble and to find your port.All in all a five star product because it does what it says it does and does so neatly. It addresses a need, and fills that niche. If you own a sextant you should buy one of these almanacs to put next to it, right beside Mary Blewit's "Celestial Navigation for yachtsmen" and your Ageton's tables. You will also be happy to know it isn't any thicker and only slightly taller than Blewitt's book in paperback, since space is always at a premium at sea.PeterIn the time since I wrote this review I have picked up and leared H.O. 208 (Dreisonstok) concise tables and I prefer them to Ageton (H.O.211) Given a choce I'd stick 208 in my kit. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Delivered early! *by U***T on October 17, 2024* I can't wait to get cracking working with this almanac and it's processes. It seems to be well written and suitable for use offshore where pin point accuracy isn't required. It N is a welcome addition to my CN tool kit. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/14281129-long-term-almanac-2000-2050-for-the-sun-and-selected](https://www.desertcart.it/products/14281129-long-term-almanac-2000-2050-for-the-sun-and-selected) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
