Ah, thank you April!!! That is very useful to know. And hello, nice to meet you.
Thank you to everyone else as well!

Hello friends, I may need a new pair of eyes. Can anyone decipher what our lovely logkeeper has written in place of the longitudinal coordinates? Two images are below - the first in close-up view (rotated), the second in its original format (in the margins). It is for October 3, 1983 on page 143 (ht...

Additional versions of 'Fairway Rock' from the James Arnold, August 16th and 17th, 1893 "Fariaway Rook" (August 16) "Fair away rook" (August 17) Additional versions of the Diameads/Diomedes Islands also from the James Arnold, August 16th and 17th, 1893 "the Diameas" (Au...

Our good logkeeper has a few different spellings for the Diomedes Islands (Diameads) and Faraway/Fairway/Farewell Rock. For the Diomedes Islands, he spells it: "the Diameas" (entry for August 16th) "the Dieameas" and "Diemeas" (August 17th) For Faraway/Fairway/Farewell ...

(Thanks, Joan! )

Ha! Oh no, it's not your fault at all. We definitely are starting on page 118, as you wrote in the URL link. It's just the National Archive glitch you mentioned before. No problem though - it's very easy to navigate. You were right - the handwriting is a bit to get used to, but thankfully this logke...

GREAT! Thank you, that was very helpful. I get the hang of it now. I'm excited to get started. FYI - the first voyage page link in my Google doc actually brings me even further back to page 95. As the link opens, the National Archive URL automatically changes itself from page/118 to page/94. Just wa...

Ah... I SEE! Thank you!! You can tell how tech savvy I am, yes?

Thanks, Randi! I used Imgur (for the first time ever! It's good to learn new things). I tried both image uploading methods but have no idea why it's not working. Anyway, here's your birthday otter! https://imgur.com/a/uYR6gqE

Have a most wonderful birthday, Randi!!!
(I tried to upload an image but it didn't quite happen... it was an Arctic sea otter wishing you a very happy birthday. He's sporting a birthday hat and holding balloons that I drew in. Enjoy your day!)
