Log

  • Wind varies in strength & direction. Gave bilge in saloon cabin clean out – it was not too bad. Been cleaning 36 tins of spaghetti. They are damp & rusty & going off.
  • Becalmed – least it is better than a yukky gale. Barometer 1026 – high

  • Gale reaching severe. This sure turned into a yuk gale with winds over 50 knots at times. Just got knocked down 100 degrees or so.
  • Oh dear the gales continue to continue. The barometer is zooming up but the stupid gale takes no notice.
