Ship's Log
Ship's log, consisting of a table for each day, in which the conditions, position, course, etc., are recorded every 4 hours.
In the 'rumbos' (courses) column, the phrase 'a la voz' appears repeatedly. The rest of the entries are either numbers (168, 192, etc.) or 'atracados' (berthed/moored).
I have no idea what this 'a la voz' refers to. Could it mean that the course has been recorded orally?
