Log

  • Oh dear a gale force squall & rain – will put more reefs into main, when it passes. Days and days of northerly component in the wind here’s hoping it does not go south down these latitudes when I’m coming back and going the other way. It is rough & humid at the moment, lots of water over the deck, wind is strong to near gale.
  • Sun over Tropic of Capricorn today. Bean spouts are spouting nicely.
