Log
- Gale by day, flop sails by night. I hope I can clear the eastern side of Estados before the next gale because of the tidal streams in the region. I cannot see the land but I can smell it. A lovely sweet smell. This is something one always can smell after being a sea a long time.
- Thanks to the diabolical hurricane the other day a rusty tin turned up in the shambles of the aft cabin after a knock down. It was tin of milo – hooray, thought my milo had long gone. Things in the saloon are nice & ship shape. But I need better weather to get to work on the aft cabin.
