OW'ers set off to go ice hunting with Bob's new spreadsheet system.

Awwwwww -GREAT picture hanibal - I love it. It catches that epic moment of the start of a major journey for our wonderful crew. Fair winds!

Good work - Thanks, Hanibal!

Yes, indeed!

Nice!

Brilliant find hanibal. I hope the number of ships in the fleet reflects the number of ice finders!

OW'ers and scientists planning the new Ice Hunting system: "Breaking the voyages into one-year blocks was a great idea - next, we should make sure the pages are scanned so that 'Amount of Clear Sky' is always clearly visible on the weather page!"

Good choice, but where are our valiant and hardworking ladies???

Probably out doing the work while the men stand around talking about it.

OW'ers try using the Ice Hunting system on a tablet computer.

Exploring the icy wastes of the Artic is a dangerous business.
Please do not do so unless you really know what you're doing.

Veteran OW'er gets interrupted by Real Life.

Maikel discovers AutoHotKey, an awesome tool that has saved hours of work and hours of frustration for many OW'ers.

Good one, Hanibal!

And thanks to Maikel! Even if I only use the very basic features AHK has been a big help.

Yes, Bravo to you both, Maikel and Hanibal!

Is that a quantum computer that Maikel's using there?

Don't know, but my pressure cooker does that sometimes

Great picture and caption hanibal - and many thanks to maikel because AHK is a life changer

Just for Information.......

Do birds also use the Beaufort code?

Only in second grade - before that they are simply learning their alphabet

OW'er looking for new recruits: "Excuse me, sir - do you have a moment to talk about Arctic sea ice?"

[Hanibal94]

Hmmm. Interesting writing style on this new set of Logs.

(Nice one Dean - I like how he also has a sword!)



Signs of OW Addiction #274: You can't decide between making Journey Plotter maps and stargazing, so you try to do both at once!

OW'ers hold a mighty feast to celebrate Christmas and the almost-completion of OW Classic AND the launch of Ice Hunting.

[Hanibal94]

OW'ers celebrating the new year in the tropics.

[Hanibal94]

The Mods have bestowed upon us a new set of Logs to work on.

Very clever, Dean. And I'm delighted to see that the Mods are still dressing with style ....

Signs of OW Addiction #491: When you run out of paper for Journey Plotter notes, you take off your clothes and write on them instead!

Talk about giving the shirt off of one's back..............

[Hanibal94]

OW'er to noisy roommate: "Could you puh-leeze turn it down a little? I'm trying to work here!"

[Hanibal94]

Ice Hunters take a very wrong turn: "Wait a minute - this doesn't look like Alaska at all!"

[Hanibal94]

Damn the icebergs!! Full speed ahead!!

[Hanibal94]

Zooniverse dev discussing the history of Zooniverse: "Almost all of our early projects were astronomy, but since then we have expanded to a wide variety of fields, such as nature, literature, physics and climate!"

I knew Zooniverse developers were pretty splendid, but I hadn't realised they were actually angelic!

[Hanibal94]

OW'er gets interviewed by journalist: "Whatever you do, do NOT ever cook dinner while working on OW - I learned that one the hard way!"

Who has time for things like dinner when OW is calling????

I'll take a slightly different tack: 'if you don't like what's coming up for dinner you can always incinerate it by working on oldweather'
