Log
- Steady SE trade wind, steady progress. Now in the Guinea Current – yacht set to the west.
- Beginning this morning, I have just completed painting two spare wind vanes white, the raft recess cover white, bits of the stern cabin & forward cabin with white, – finished that time of paint.
- Not had supper yet, stove broke down & I just got it going again – I hope.
- Quiet mild, yacht sailing smoothly. Dolphins with the yacht. There is a fish with yellow tail swimming with the yacht, – wish it will hop onto my line – yum.
- Once more south of the Equator. (I spent 5 days this last time north). Nice setting sun to starboard & big full moon rising to port. Nice brown sea bird perched on the stern rail of the yacht.
