On the weather page, please enter: date, locations, distances, courses, and all the weather data in the columns outlined in red in the spreadsheet.
It is not necessary to record Sea Conditions or Swells from.
However, ice mentioned in the weather grid should be transcribed using the magenta Sea columns.

On the events page please enter: ice, location information, and sailing information.
Aurorae and volcanic activity should be reported in the forum.
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.
(If one transcriber does events and weather and they are in the same image, the date is only entered once.)

No transcriptions were done for this year, so a full transcription is needed for the entire year.




See Burton Island -- General for some general background and discussion.
See Burton Island -- Examples for a quick introduction to transcribing or a refresher.

See the Transcribing Guide to learn how to transcribe the data.
Post in Ask Questions Here or this topic if you have questions.

Saturday, 8 January, 1949
Noon: 45o02N 125o02W
1225 Number 2 life raft, frame 125, port side was carried away by heavy sea. 1244 Gripes on 36' cabin cruiser snapped at turnbuckles resulting from heavy seas breaking over the main deck aft and striking against outboard hull causing a tremendous pressure which lifted cruiser free of skids and sheered all gripes simultaneously causing considerable damage to cruiser. 1245 Changed course to 331o (t), reduced speed to 1/3.
