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.)

Spithead and Rocky Point are close by.

That seems like a good choice. On the next page it looks a lot clearer.
I was looking at Akutan Island and did not read the scale.
Unalaska Is is not that far away.

Coming into Unalakleet, and I think we have a new record for course changes! Eight courses in just 11 minutes (1109-1120). ::)

1100 course 142.
1110 cc 135.
1112 cc 125.
1114 cc 115.
1115 cc 70.
1117 cc 44.
1118 cc 43.
1119 cc 40.
1130 Anchored. L tan Besboro Id 223, Unalakleet church 43 dist 5500 yd.

His net movement for that 30 minutes was 91 degrees true, with a distance of 68% of his logged 3.8 miles for 2.6 miles.

Many thanks to Stuart who transcribed in spite of living through fire, hail, smoke, floods and mud. ;D ;D ;D
