I've attached the spread sheet the student made of Cook's lunars. I haven't had time to inspect it yet, but the entries should be self-evident. It's been awhile since I've read the accounts of his first voyage. I recall that a lot of the entries were pretty detailed, giving information like the direction the swell was running, wind etc.
