Lay out a Panama shift pattern across the calendar

A repeating Panama rota can be difficult to picture from a written sequence alone. Putting the working and rest days onto a calendar makes the rotation easier to follow.

Start from the correct point in your cycle, add the relevant shift times and adjust individual dates whenever your real rota differs from the repeating pattern.

Use the real rota as your reference. Pattern names can vary, so use the dates and times supplied to you.
