OW'ers discussing how tedious it can be to navigate the inside passage from Alaska to Seattle: "Over 30 course changes per day and badly misspelled place names - this is not for the faint of heart!"

Sign of OW addiction? It's difficult to look at the other bits of the painting when there's a big map on the wall.

Great picture!

Officer and Laughing Girl, 1658 by Johannes Vermeer
https://www.johannesvermeer.org/officer ... g-girl.jsp

Vermeer painted the map representing the provinces of Holland and West Friesland so accurately that it has been identified as one published in the Netherlands around 1620. Nevertheless, he has imaginatively colored the map, painting the land blue, to relate to the color harmonies of the painting.

Indeed!

Wish that hat was mine.

Great picture Chris - interesting articles Randi

I surmise that it is Autumn since he appears to have collected some dead leaves in the expansive brim of his hat

OW'er gets scolded by moderator for sleeping in late: "You think those logbooks are gonna transcribe themselves? Get up and get back to work!"

Absolutely right too. No '40 winks' on this job, 20's enough for anyone.

You can recognize moderators by their wings

That moderator looks like they spent many hours getting a new ship on line for transcribing

Quick question - has the angelic moderator got a huge cup of strong coffee for this poor OW-er?

Posted: **Sun Jan 03, 2021 9:02 am**

The wings must play havoc with all the fancy clothes the mods have (or perhaps that should be vice versa?)

Posted: **Sun Jan 03, 2021 1:38 pm**

Good point

Posted: **Sun Jan 03, 2021 8:51 pm**

I want to know what the manacles on the wall are for...

My mistake, must be a coffee cup holder to dangle before the transcriber.

Posted: **Sun Jan 03, 2021 9:28 pm**

Oooo - coffee cup holders - nice idea leelaht

Posted: **Sun Jan 03, 2021 10:25 pm**

Come a little closer and I'll show you how they work.....

Sounds like a handy offer

OW'er prepares for battle with really nasty logs.

(Inspired by Gordon's recent completion of April 1915 on the Manning, which was pretty awful!)
