Most crews discover their own figure is lower than they believed — and by day ten that matters more than anything else in the book. Reconstructed at the end of a passage it is fiction, which is why model O6 only works on numbers written the same day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"background:#F7F9FA;border:1px solid #E1E8EC;border-left:4px solid #A2803C;border-radius:4px;padding:20px 22px;margin:26px 0;\"\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 6px;color:#0A3F5C;font-weight:700;\"\u003eRecord the reviews that made you wait\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0;line-height:1.7;\"\u003eA workbook that only holds the forecast you sailed on cannot teach you anything.

Model O2 uses a rate you measured on your own boat, with the crew who will actually be aboard — because a rate measured with two people and applied to five is a guess with a decimal point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color:#0A3F5C;margin:30px 0 8px;\"\u003eThe arrival time you send ashore\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModel O5 recomputes arrival at the speed you are actually making, every noon.
