Every ring, and the morning after
16 rings - 12 held, 4 broke, 2 taken back before the morning (75% held).
A ring enters this ledger the moment it is made, with what was promised. Once the window has passed, the instruments testify - the buoy during the window, the wind, the rain, the sky - and the entry is judged held or broke. A promise the bell withdrew before the morning is marked taken back. Nobody edits this page.
Wind and sky are read from the nearest station within reach where one stands (named in each row) and from the weather model where none does; the swell is always the bell's own buoy. The rules are the gate's own: wind at or under 7 knots (glass); under 0.2 in of rain in the 72 hours before and under 0.1 in during the window (dry); cloud at or under the bell's sun line (sun); the buoy no bigger than 1.25 times what the forecast said it would read, plus 0.3 ft (flat). A light nobody could read is named as not read, never guessed. Rings marked 'from the log' were made before this ledger existed and carry no buoy expectation, so their flat light is never read.
