Message: [QUOTE="The CDR-Ret, post: 4334791, member: 10751"] 20:30 local in Argentina (GMT-3) is 19:30 EDT in the US (7:30 p.m) East Coast (GMT-4), 6:30 p.m Central Daylight time [same as EST for those not making the shift to EDT], 5:30 p.m MDT [same as CST], and 4:30 p.m. PDT (and MST for those in Navajo Nation of AZ), and 1:30 p.m. in Hawaii HST (no daylight "wasting time" there, only standard time, as the Sun is actually North of Pearl Harbor for the next 4 days...), and Monday morning at 9:30 a.m. in Guam, as GMT (Zulu) would be 23:30 in Greenwich, England, as GMT is Greenwich Mean Time). The Nautical clock (chronometer) is a 24-hour clock, so one just subtracts twelve from numbers bigger than 12 (for the afternoon hours). The Admiralty was located in Greenwich, England when they "owned" the seas... This Maritime Moment was brought to you by Bankers Life & Casualty Company, Chicago, IL....
