Remarks: Seaman’s Sunday. Leo and George play a game of crib on the hatch. Violet and Danielle mend shirts. Kate and Jeremie work the sextant. Later this afternoon discussion on Bali. An odd swell comining in from the SSW. No winds and no weather in the short distance between us and Australia hereabouts. So, how come the swells? Do not know.
