Nothing much is happening out here in the Arabian Sea. There is not much
wind, no big waves, no ships and no fish or any other kind of wildlife come
to that. All pretty dull really.
There was a bit of excitement yesterday when Tim pointed out 'smoke' pouring
out of the engine room. A pipe with engine coolant in it had burst and
sprayed out green-coloured water. Everything had overheated and turned it
all to steam. It was fun while it lasted.
Tim and Steve seem to be on the same page as me as far as Life, the Universe
and Everything is concerned so I can't get my usual amusement by shocking
the captive-audience with lurid theories on the origins and follies of Homo
sapiens. We have also had some very closely fought games of 'Trivial
Pursuits'. How come we all know the same stuff?
