Remarks: Blowing pretty stong. White caps everywhere. Plenty rolling and swooping in the seas – would be a nice romp if we were headed for Marquesas. But we are headed for Pitcairn Island. Galley assistants have their hands full. Leo is steering like a champ, Liam is serving up some oars for the longboat, Juilan and Jeremie are lashing gear back in the monomoy after it got painted (tropical blue, emergency orange and pink). It is also the one year anniversary of Line from Denmark joining Picton Castle.
