Started June 1954.
There will be no ice for June or July and am only doing them to complete Michael's voyage graphs.

Michael.
Any chance of getting away with just the 3 obs/day?

It would be nice to have the hourly courses and distances. If you use the Alt-[ macro you can really copy the repetitive courses in no time.  ;)

If that doesn't work, try Alt+1.

I came down with a cold one for you, but they said you'd gone out. Sorry!  ;D ;D ;D

Hunted down all the ice in May 1954 (quite a lot!).
I'll wait until Friday before reserving or starting any more, as it's a rather busy week for me.

No problem. Some months it's just ice, ice, ice, ice and more ice.  ;D

Why are we in company with the Northwind?
What would have been her purpose accompanying use (or visa versa)?

Seems she is with us most of the voyages and I wonder if that being so do we need to record the same data for the same places from her?

Do the ice reports and the weather always match?

Don't know as I have not done Northwind but I would hazard a good guess they would both know they were in ice.
Which would reports you choose if they did not match?  ;)

14 Aug 1954 the vessel is in Dundas peninsular.
Here are some pics from when I was at Dundas Harbor (and near by Croker bay glacier) 29 Aug 2015

The map (https://drive.google.com/open?id=1DFrEcwuj06nu2ieX_1TdA7DpDNuXQ6BX) of the Spring voyage for 1954 has been posted.

I will start working on the fall voyage later today.

Burton Island has been working with Canadian Coast Guard Ship Labrador around Banks, Victoria and Melville Islands. Here she is.

I like to think that it was because of CCGS Labrador.   ;D ;D ;D
