  • Favourable mild breeze & sea. Huge ship going by opposite direction. One wonders where it comes from her course would suggest Antarctica, between South Africa & south America.

  • Rocks Ho St Peter & Paul Rocks. I navigated for them & found them. The tallest pinnacle is a little higher than the top of Parry Endeavour’s mast.
  • I’m now continuously north in the hope of finding the usual rain belt in the Equatorial trough & will top up all my fresh water tanks.
