World time zone maps generally show a series of perfectly regular time zones divided at the appropriate meridians through the oceans wherever there aren't any nations that set their time otherwise for political reasons. However, I suppose on any particular ship it would be up to the captain to decide when to adjust ship time, not necessarily exactly when those meridians are crossed. -- == Dan == Dan's Mail Format Site: http://mailformat.dan.info/ Dan's Web Tips: http://webtips.dan.info/ Dan's Domain Site: http://domains.dan.info/ _______________________________________________ LEAPSECS mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs
