And it's yours to enjoy Molly! I sent you a PM (Personal Message) to give you the details and links to the workbook. I hope that the comments about seasickness don't go all the way through the log

I notice that there's baseball noted in the log - check out this posting showing the league table held in the Newport's log: viewtopic.php?p=10855#p10855
