Is the quip about Vaarsuvius’ Law intended to be taken seriously here? I.e., are we to assume that without exception every voyage involves exactly one encounter? (And that that’s why there are no entries in our records saying “no encounters”?)
Similarly, are we to assume that every voyage does have an entry in our records?

All your assumptions are correct, with the debatable exception of the last one: you have a record for every voyage
made along the same route you’re taking
by a supply ship
working for the same Navy as you
in the span 1396-1405.
