Adrian Veil opens the joint timetable, crew rota and passenger connection slips at the ferry crossing between Vesperhold and Far Quay. Before anyone changes a mark, the crew checks the two towns publish departure times from different clock boards. The early thaw period sets the pace of the work.
The page holds 73 connections completed within the agreed transfer time. Adrian Veil reads the preceding count, 74, before the next line is entered. A number without a date would not tell the next crew what changed.
Each port says its departure time is locally correct. Travelers need a conversion on the shared board. Here the difference is visible between the posted rule and the route, service or shift just beyond the door.
Residents and workers submit accounts before the hearing closes. The Year fifth, early thaw window 3 file remains open for its scheduled decision. Both ports will publish the same conversion beside their local time.
The shift closes with the source page attached to the board. The next file uses a new date and scope.
