Old Weather Forum

Is that the Old New forum for the New Old Weather, because we've been using this one for a while now, or the Old Forum for old Old Weather?

Um... Maybe. Then again, maybe not.

Inspired by the recent release of the Ashuelot in OW Arctic:



OW'ers head off to yet another new ship to tackle her logs.

Thanks to Joan for the image!

Oh my!! Look at the state of us. That must have been a tough set of logs that we've just finished. But onwards - ever onwards - none but the brave, our solid mad cap crew of digital transcribers navigates the treacherous seas of the Arctic to bring wisdom to the world of weather history.

Great image, Joan!
Great caption, Chris!

Brilliant job, you two!

The ultimate sign of OW addiction: After all that time spent with logbooks, you slowly but surely turn into them!

Glad that you found a use for that selfie that I took last week, Chris!

Great!!

I like the old keys for the eyes

Oh - is that what they are?

An old OW logbook sailor shows a new young transcriber where to watch for the Dockside Gallery Ship to sail into view.

Apologies. I had a lot of things going on today.
So, without further delay...



OW'er mod showing newbies how to make Journey Plotter maps.

Are those the severed heads of log keepers who had exceptionally bad handwriting? And the foot from a log keeper who wrote with his foot instead of using his hand?

After the mess-up I made with Journey Plotter this week (I really am sorry Maikel ) I've donated the severed head for this picture. I don't know who put in the foot, although as I put my foot in it I ought to consider doing the same

Nice one Hannibal!
