Every year I start strong and every year I end up at the end of December panicking that I haven't logged my hours. So another year of reviewing pictures and counting days on the water hoping there are enough. Sorry Molly and the remainder of the spinsheet team that have to deal with me year after year. Maybe 2025 will be better, but don't get your hopes up.
