Glad you've got a fix but you should keep an eye on it.

If you look at the output for ntpq you have three stratum 2 servers 
which differ by ~15s from both you and each other.  Stratum 2 servers 
should be a lot closer than 15s given that they are only one link 
removed from some form of atomic clock.
