For those limited to paper recording - Take a good supply of decent pencils (pens stop working just when you least want). Invest in a supply of waterproof paper. A standard lined A4 pad will disintegrate into a soggy mess as soon as its wet - especially if you have to use more than one sheet. Its hard to decipher the times from a pile of pulp (and again it will always rain at the least convenient time). Surveyors books are excellent for this purpose. Plan ahead - if there is a bunch of boats approaching, prewrite the time onto the sheet at say 15 second intervals. Then as boats finish just record numbers within the relevant time range (have someone shout out the 15 sec intervals) - interpolate actual times. And yes, that is similar to redbacks suggestion. |
