BE does indeed mean Before Episode. Uh, so does BST. I started with the latter, but switched over to the easier (by one whole letter!) system. Apparently I didn't fix the whole list. Anyway, those are the relative dates.
Uh, in the real list, the years are color-coded so that one might easily see which measuring scheme is derived from which episode or film. In this case, the last dates given for each entry are pulled from The Wrath of Khan, and also, as you can see, are the closest to the "real" dates.

OTOH, give the ship some cryogenics, have it go full throttle for the entire time between launch and rediscovery (due to some mishap that happened on the way to the originally intended target, while the crew slept), and have the disastrous encounter with the barrier take place nine days before Kirk arrived. Solves pretty much everything. The recorder marker doesn't have to have too long-lasting a set of batteries, even.

There is one problem with that solution. Wouldn't someone have commented on the fact that the log entries on the recorder are only a few days or weeks old?
I think the wormhole theory is still the best solution.
