Stan, composite image of RD's image and GE. Stan followed the islands, but chose to head SSW, instead of going to Tenerife. Perhaps his instinct, told him to go further south instead and maybe offshore NE winds, coming from the African continent will draw him back to a landward course. I hope so.

Alba and Caledonia update, taken from the new blog.
Updates Blue YD and Blue 44
44 has probably crossed to Morocco by now.
Here is today's spreadsheet, not sure if this image will be legible though?
It is OK, if you stretch the page, if you have Windows 7.
JSB If I zoom to 150 or 200% it easily fills the screen.

I tend not to write as I find difficulty reading it later! :) [/quote] Have you actually seen Roy's own handwriting? I'm envious. My copy of 'Life of Ospreys' came from Loch of the Lowes, so I don't even have a signed copy of that for comparison. Why 'careful', though? As an archivist, semi-legible handwriting is something I see rather a lot of, and don't regard as reflecting negatively on the writer :D Some of my favourite archives in our collections at work are among the most difficult to read. Not just talking about Secretary hand and other very old styles, either... Frustrating - yes. Insult (if that is how you are reading it) - no! Just how people are and always have been. The quality is in the content, not the aesthetics. Semi-legible handwriting is true of a lot of folk these days, though - if you think you're bad, you should see some of the students we get at work! They have all grown up using computers, and handwriting just isn't part of their normal everyday lives. I've had a closer look at the notebook extracts in 'Life of Ospreys', btw: they are definitely computer-produced transcripts rather than photos of the originals, sadly. As an archivist, handwriting is one of the things I'm trained to analyse, and the individual letter forms are 100% regular - that just doesn't happen in real life.

JSB. If I just click on the spreadsheet it enlarges to a perfectly readable size. Thank you.
Birdies LG DU update.
Tiger takes out his signed copy of "Life of Ospreys" and looks at Roy Dennis's writing. Ok it is not as lovely as that in the text of the book, it is still very good compared to mine...ie legible! :)
