Field notes
The site says marks can represent kelp, debris, or a skiff, with different wind leeway, and that the math behind the estimates is written out. It uses fishing-specific units: coordinates in degrees and decimal minutes, distance in nautical miles, and speed in knots. The creator describes the project as growing out of learning offshore fishing as a first-time boat owner.
