I'll get to it after I finish processing Yantic 1869 and Lackawanna 1866. Processing Yantic is very slow going, but I'm making progress...

It does not make sense. The only thing that does make sense is strat. My guess is that he couldn't read the entry in the deck log and wrote his best guess. Just enter strat.

They went from Charleston to the Norfolk Navy Yard with stops in Port Royal and Beaufort Harbor and they did minimal weather observations only every four hours, making the voyage calculations very quick and easy. You can see a plot of the voyage...

Re: Chat
Thank you, it went as well as a 15 hour flight can go. We must have had great winds because we got to YVR an hour ahead of schedule. It meant I could sit in an airport lounge for an extra hour waiting for my 10 minute flight home to YYJ.

That's the way to do it. Mind you, it's always difficult to tell just what these guys were thinking. When I was on a three month course to be a weather observer in 1971, we were taught how to print numbers and letters so that they were always legible, and so that they were always easily distinguisha...
