Captain's Log
What follows is an exact copy of the logbook on board the Obi-Wan. There are some things which can't be reproduced, though. Several entries are smudged by water, coming off the foulweather gear, as you note the time on a wet dark night. Other entries are barely legible, caused by the ship's rolling. As a rule, on longer trips, we mark our position every hour. Some of these hourly entries are missing. It's not an oversight, it's just that we had other things on our mind at that time. Not many people want to go inside when the boat is moving heavily.
