  • Remember fix cabin light.
  • Just serviced & greased the mainsheet winch. As I have run out of winch grease I mixed some oil in Vaseline & that appears superb winch grease.

  • The best sound on Parry Endeavour is fresh water dribbling into the water tank.
  • Battery’s charge is just holding. I will not switch on satellite navigation on today for the first time this voyage in the hope the batteries will begin to pick up soon.
  • Guess work in plotting on a chart this scale. Will make a plotting sheet tomorrow.
