In 2002 and 2003 I spent some time trying to date Ransome's adventures from internal references and, in particular, from the phases and positions of the moon. While I mostly concentrated on WH and PM, I did note that, if SA took place in 1929, the night sail would have been after the moon had set. I mostly found a certain lack of consistency on Ransome's part.
If anyone really wants to follow this through, my articles in Mixed Moss New Series Nos. 2 and 4 might be a good place to start.
