Remarks: Wet and squally night followed by a wet and squally day. Rove off new sheets for the main topmast staysail. To make sure they are strong-strong. Ash scrapes the carvings on the fore fife rail. Donald treats us to burgers for lunch. Rainy day – making good time to the westward – all to the good. The seawater is warm.
