Log

  • A winters night continues, squall after squall after squall with rain & hail.
  • Though one could see the sun at noon through the cloud & ok at times during the day, I am not attempting to gain sights with the sextant as I have 1000 miles of sea.
  • Today I break Perie Banou’s record of 419 days 22 hours 10 minutes (420 days) alone & without stopping at sea. Crossed 0 degree meridian from W to E today.
