Position 17:52.75S 82:11.5E
One week out from Cocos Keeling, and maybe 9 days
only to Rodrigues: it is all down to the weather, and plenty of that today.
30kts wind just aft of the beam giving a rvery ocky and wet ride. The leeward
dodger, with freshly stitched name, just blown out by a green one into the
cockpit. Repair possible, but not today! Typing in the bunk, as water
spilling over the chart table too. Stugeron working well, but with the noise and
motion difficult to do anything much. Saucepans all jumped off the stove in the
middle of the night, so havn't bothered with them today. Could be those cold
baked beans for supper!
