Comment:
1765-11-17T11:00: HALLAN FONDO EN 120 BRAZAS, LAMA VERDE CLARA Y ARENA NEGRA FINA. ADVIERTO QUE PARA EL CONOCIMIENTO DE LA SONDA NADA ES MEJOR PARA LOS CASOS EN QUE EL TIEMPO NO LA PERMITA, QUE EL OBSERVAR SI HAY LOBOS MARINOS PUES NO SALEN DE ELLA Y ROLETES QUE ES OTRO PEZ QUE A SU ANDAR PARECE VA RODANDO O DANDO VUELTAS. TAMBIEN LO ASEGURAN UNAS AVES BLANCAS GRANDES CON LAS PUNTAS DE LAS ALAS NEGRAS POR LO QUE SON LLAMADAS MANGAS DE BOLUDO (ESTO ES, BOTAS DE TERCIOPELO) NO SE ENCUENTRA EN TODA LA NAVEGACION OTRAS CON QUE EQUIVOCARLAS PUES VUELAN SEMEJANTEMENTE AL PATO Y NO SALEN DE LA SONDA O VISTA DE LA TIERRA A LO MENOS. OTROS PAJARILLOS NEGROS PARDUZCOS HAY DEL TAMAÑO DE UNA TÓRTOLA CON EL PICO BLANCO SOLO EN SONDA O INMEDIATOS A ELLA LOS HEMOS VISTO Y ULTIMAMENTE EL COLOR DE LA MAR DENOTA MUCHISIMO EL FONDO TANTO QUE PARECE HABER MENOS Y COTEJADO CON LA METRORIA DE OTROS PLACERES DONDE HEMOS HALLADO 120 BRAZAS APENAS SE PUDIERA REGULAR 50 O 60, PERO AL VER LA CALIDAD DEL FONDO SE CONOCE LA CAUSA, PUES ES LAMA VERDE Y ARENA MENUDA NEGRA, COLORES BIEN CAPACES DE CANVIAR AL AGUA SU APARIENCIA

It is not clear from many logbook entries whether the wind direction has been corrected for the magnetic variation (or declination). To avoid any misunderstanding, all winds from reports that included a valid position in the period 1750-1854 were corrected. All other wind directions are given without being corrected. | ||

| 15 | Declination | Decl | deg | It is generally accepted by the CLIWOC team that the wind directions, reported by the ships officers, were relative to the magnetic North direction. Navigators were well aware of the difference between the true and magnetic north direction, but the compasses (we assumed that the bearing-compasses were mostly used for determining the wind direction) were not always adjusted. Therefore the wind direction has to be corrected. The magnetic declination (or variation, as it is known on board ships) is given for the whole CLIWOC period (1750-1850) for every 5x5 degree square. The number was added to the wind direction to get the true wind direction. | ||
