Thanks Ben, but the recent Vulcain Cricket Nauticals...
...posted by ztirual and JOHNACONNOLLY have also cleared up some issues on understanding for me..... Typical of the time was to only state some no stop times, or some whould show realistic last stop times for various depths (upto about 20 - 30mins or so)....
