Clen, you are correct, don't worry about the azimith to the body. Once you reach the LOP you want to be on just turn and drive down the azimith of the LOP until you find the destination. I like the page Paul linked to, that's the most complete instruction I've seen. I've been practicing this in the flight sim but have not added wind to mess with my DR yet. It seems to work so far, I fly until the sun is where I want it to be and turn towards my landing strip. It also worked to find an island on my sailboat last weekend but admittedly I was in familiar waters and knew where I was anyway so it wasn't much of a test. Although I think I deserve some credit for taking a sight and reducing it on the deck of a Hobie 14. That was a new experience.
