On the weather page, please enter: date, locations, distances (nautical miles and tenths), courses, and all the weather data in the columns outlined in red in the spreadsheet.
It is not necessary to record State of the Sea.
However, ice mentioned in the weather grid should be transcribed using the magenta Sea column.

On the events page please enter: ice, location information, and sailing information.
Aurorae, volcanic, and seismic activity should be reported in the forum.
The names of US Navy and Coast Guard ships met should be noted. This gives the science team a chance to compare weather readings. You can include all ships mentioned in a single entry without a time or any additional data.
Other events are optional.

One person can do both weather and events (Stream 1), but the system also allows one person to do the weather page (Stream 1) and a second person to do the events page (Stream 3).
Unlike in OW3, where three transcriptions were required for each page, we are doing only one transcription per page.

Every transcriber needs to enter the date.
The date is used to organize the pages.



See Shenandoah: general for some general background and discussion.
See Shenandoah: examples for a quick introduction to transcribing or a refresher.

See Transcribing Guide to learn how to transcribe the data.

While trying to find a lighthouse near Sabanilla, Colombia, I found this:

The article about this lighthouse is in the Spanish Wikipedia. The page is translatable.

There are other pages in Spanish. From one of the others:
The imposing structure, which stands at a height of 70 meters and weighs approximately 120 tons, is made up of 55,000 LED bulbs, 100 tons of aluminum and 1,588 meters of laminated glass in various shades of blue . The construction of this masterpiece involved the hard work of more than 80 people over 180 days, according to Tecnoglass manager Christian Daes.
