Day’s Run – 25 March 2019

Day came in light overcast again, clearing some towards noon. Fair winds, small seas. St Helena about 90 nautical miles ahead. Back to work with spar-making, cooking, cleaning, working decks, sorting carrots, sailmaking, off watch reading, navigating, listening to Dawson sing the Popcorn song and see his dance routine. No fish today. Good sailing. Have taken in studding sails and the main royal to avoid getting to James Town too early in the morning.
