Remarks: Wind builds overnight, sea builds with it. Ryan and Liam overhaul the fish tackle that has been sent down for the passage, Lyra overhauls the wire fore topmast staysail sheet pennants. Line, Clara and Rosalie pay the quarterdeck seams with putty. Edmund and Benny clean up rigging seizings. A beautiful sunny tradewind day and rolling along at almost 7 knots. Bosun Line teaching knots and running rigging to the new crew.
