I was thinking about a line in the second post - three lamps in the west, two in the east, I believe.
Three sunsets, two sunrises. Could that be their timing? Sunset on the third day from the post? Have to check the post again. Damn. getting tired and my brain is starting to go all stream of consciousness.
Nertz. three lamps east and two west. Three sunrises, two sunsets. Dawn of the third day, maybe?
It's been a few years since we sold our sailboat so I'm rusty on my navigation rules. Port and starboard lights, red and green. Was it two red, one green? Or was it ever three red, two green in shipping channels? Am I making sense?
"three lamps in the west, two in the east"
Think of targets.... major ports with tankers or refineries on the water.
