Log of the Avalon Adventure

This is a transcript of the log we recorded on the voyage. I will add the text comments from the log to the table as and when I have time. Unfortunatly this is both very time consuming and by far the most interesting part of the log.

Key: Log Dist is the distance traveled acording to the log. GPS Dist is the distance calculated from the GPS coordinates (Lat and Lon). The Spd columns are speeds calculated from the respective distances and the time between log entries.

The Green figures at the top of each section of the log are the total miles (Log and GPS) and average speeds.

Very few of the original entries were changed in this table - in all cases because the figures were obviously wrong.

Enjoy.
