Any ideas why they were casting at 08-1200? What would make them pick that time?
Whilst it shows what looks like Feet and Inches I guess it is Fathoms and inches.
2' 42 I think is 9' 6 in f&I, so it was getting a bit shallow, how did they know?

Good afternoon Randi.
Never thought of that, could be a good answer.

Good job, Stuart. I'm just finishing processing McCulloch, 1916, then I have to start processing Sacramento, 1924. Kearsarge, 1890, will be next. :D
