I plan to make my own log using a 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 note book binder. I could sending a copy of my form to the list, but it is in 6.1 Wordperfect format. It is almost identical to the one you presented only smaller. It make for 5 1/2 x 8 1/5 paper. I just wanted a smaller one to take with me on cruises. Include in the note book I am adding lots of formula I have used in working problem from this nav. list. This list is a great help to me. It is keeping me in navigation every day. With 4 to 5 sextant reading every day. My house is beginning to stay put. Dosen't move around much anymore. I am ashamed to admit how little I had use the sexant until this list.
