Day’s Run – 30 March 2019

Day came in fair and partly cloudy. We are on the starboard tack to make some north-ing. We will wear around this afternoon to a more westerly course. Royal yard is almost shaped, awaiting yoke and ironwork. Sweet passage making today. Passage discussion to follow this afternoon. We have a long way to go but under largely the most pleasant conditions.
