Regarding taffrail logs: While I have a used brass T.W, Cherub on my fireplace mantel, I have not used it nor do I have the counter (perhaps the wrong term?). I have read that they tend to lose accuracy in following seas. (My guess is they run too slowly.) Could Robert, David, et al comment on their experiences of the accuracy in different types of seas at different points of sail? Thanks Bill
