Thank you for your help

Looking good April - thank you!!!

Hi! Could I work on section A of this log book? And google sheets would be wonderful, thanks
Excited to get started!

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
