Log
- Huge – huge oil tanker starboard side horizon.
- The beep beep (beep) stove is still playing up. It is a dangerous thing. Whilst in the cockpit this morning – to get away from its smoke it stopped making gas & poured out liquid kerosene which smoke filled & blackened the cabin. Of late I only light the stove twice a day morning & evening & one burner only. I wish I had the stove I originally prescribed. I wish a lot of things had just been left to me.
- North of the equator now
