Log
- Happy Xmas me all alone with a sunburnt cracked chafed bottom lip – very sore. I’m listening to Xmas carols specially taped for me by Noel Semmens – who is a truly nice friend. Good program on BBC too.
- The day was a good excuse to treat myself to abetter fare with my evening meal. 1st I had a mixture of Bacardi with water! (the only grog – that was – on board). Then big full plate of Hawaiian & California chicken mixed with surprise beans & a liberal helping of fresh greens sprouting beans. Then stewed prunes & custard. Then two cups of coffee.
- Gosh my strobe light is working – hooray but none of the rest of the lights on the mast.
