Remarks: A sunny Friday at sea. Spring, Sara, Ben and Christiane work a noon sight. Alex works on chafe gear in the head rig, Julian tars the mizzen mast. Donald makes a wonderful potato curry for lunch. Sailing along nicely with a fair breeze. Have a head current now we are just sailing out of. Lots of BIG ships on our track. Cooling slightly. Crossed out of the tropics yesterday.
