We've been working on transcribing, some of us are faster than others. Transcribing pace ranges from two to four pages in 30 minutes. The greatest difficulty lies in deciphering the handwriting and spelling from the time period. Some pages have faded or smudged ink which make it difficult to read.
Some examples include:
-"are" looks like "we"
-not all t's are crossed
-Saturday is spelled "Satturday"
-"are" instead of "our"
Some groups have been surprised about the lack of whales caught. Interactions between multiple ships vary. Some interactions have been competition over whales, some gams, and some ships stay in harbors for lengths of time.
Keep an eye out for individual entries from each of us soon.
So end this day.
