...or push him into the Duck Pond. Either one. Surely Duck person would want to swim with the ducks...Really, Dylan was willing to do him a favor.
...ANYWAY...back to the assignment.
Ahem.
His eyes were still magnified...as he looked skyward, again. He could make out certain stars...Dylan squinted, spotting Orion...which was the wrong direction to be looking...He needed to go...more to the right...and up some...Hmmm...There was Ursa Major...but he needed Urse Minor...since Polaris was in it's handle and all...
OH. THERE. Right. Merlin, his eyes felt itchy.
Time for the sextant thing...The Captain had to admit, he wasn't a fan.
Honestly this was no big deal. West had no issues anyways, once again unerringly looking for the pointer stars and using those as a guide to find Polaris. Just as they'd been taught in class. Maybe for the next one he'd use one of the other methods just out of sheer whimsy. Seriously he'd found Polaris about a hundred times this school year already, it was effortless at this point. He spotted it and lined up the sextant then dropped the view down so that Polaris would be a direct line once he adjusted the mirrors. Which was the next step obviously.
Also he was hungry.
Just saying.
