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 also be reported.
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.)

They fixed it the next day (11:20) but passed a small piece of floating wreckage at 19:55!

On to July, and hopefully more ice.

On to August.

They were trying to go to Little Diomede Island, but the anchorage was too rough, so they proceeded to East Cape, Siberia and anchored over night. A Russian official from the village came out in a native boat and asked them the name of the vessel, why they were there and how long they planned to be there. The log gave no further explanation, no one went ashore, and they left the next day for King Island. I'm guessing they went over to Siberia to seek a sheltered location from the storm, "any port in a storm". :)

Northland's 1927 voyage was just a tour of Alaskan ports. It was their first trip in the North Pacific, after coming from the East Coast via the Panama Canal.

I'm guessing our days of picking up reindeer from Siberia and hauling them to Alaska are nearly over.

ggordon wrote:Sat Oct 12, 2019 7:24 pm The Northland returned to Siberia again on August 6 and 7, 1929. This time it appears to have been planned. They went to Lutke Island to get water, where they were visited by Russian officials and then visited a Russian steamer near Cape Khargilakh. This may turn out to be the last visit to Siberia unless the Northland went there in 1930.

January is next - Randi informed me I can do it after all, so I will.
