Log

  • Most exciting yacht is being buzzed by RAF. Sea King helicopter over yacht – sea rescue. They said that they had received emergency call from London. I suspect those in Perth asked for a check up on me in the interest of safety. Anyway they picked up 3 letters. Said that they would log that nothing came onto the yacht.
  • "Falklands Right" fisheries inspector vessel called & asked for my position, it seems they are going to intercept.
