That is the Lackawanna's account of it.

This year to date (July 1873) has had the most Nd, Sd, Ed, and Wd (and any combination of them) for wind that I think I have ever had since starting in OW.
For example:
nd+ed
sd+ed
sd+ed
sd+ed
sd
sd
sd
sd
sd+wd
sd+wd
sd
sd

and some are worse, also had 3 or 4 course changes in a 1 hr block.

I have a new crew on Omaha, and they're doing the same thing!!!

[pommystuart]

Now the second block starts a line above 1pm so my 1 up grid is now the actual data cell.

All good, a couple of days later it back to normal.

A nice lazy 3 months in Yokohama.

I know what you mean. I have been in Honolulu for a couple of months.

Finished.
Now on to 1874

It's in the queue with Ashuelot and Omaha, but I'll start working on those three ships soon. First I have to get my head into the Pacific Daylight Time Zone.

We took bearings of the British Consulate in Amoy, China. I haven't found it's position on a map, but this is what it looked like:
