Dan,
I like your idea. In fact I have made a SR 229. 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.
