Hello Puffinlady and welcome to OWW

That log section is quite a good one to have a go at for a start. We normally need just three transcribers but I'm very happy to have a fourth for this logbook section, especially as we are still tweaking things a bit.

Do you want to work in Excel, or Google sheets, or Libre Office please?

I'll drop you a Personal Message (PM) with a link to the file and some starter information.

Hello,
If there is another section you need help with I would be happy to work another section or ship to spread the work load. I would like to work in Excel.
Thank you,
Jill
