19 05S 067 42E 244 to go.
Well a better night last night but still showers
and squalls and 30 degree rolls to ensure that we are not treated to too much
sleep.
It is great having a smiling fit young crew
to wake you for the next watch his enthusiasm and athlecity are refreshing. Plus
there is an incentive to try and look fit agile and ready to go as opposed to
groaning as every muscle aches and stiffens while trying to exit the bunk on the
correct roll so as to be fired out rather than back against the
bulkhead.
Chris spent a busy and bruising 1 1/2 hours down in
the engine room fitting a very impressive teak support to lessen the play in the
steering box plate - Heath Robinson would have been proud!
As the sea lessened this afternoon I decided to
bake ginger biscuits to fill the sadly low cookie jar - seas were of course just
teasing and as I placed the tray in the oven 1/2 the raw dough circles slid off
on the roll and stuck to the cookker door. The gimbles got confused and the
yoghurt flask with the latest batch inside fflew from the cooker top. Chris came
to the rescue holding the door and the flask and acting as a gimble while I
returned each somewhat misshapen cookie to the tray and slammed the door
quick.
Worst bit ws cleaning oven door after it had cooked
dough all over theglass.
such is life at sea.
Morale is high and all is well.
