Dusk falls and an air of quiet expectation has spread throughout the ship. Even the generator seems to be purring under its breath. Stuart is the man with the all important tuna line and the Skipper is standing by with a sushi knife to transform the catch.
 
By way of an overcautious plan B, chilli con carne is simmering on the hob. Containing the equivalent of no less than four spicy Portuguese chillis, it is just as well that we're packed to the gunwales with chilled beer.
 
Your correspondant is feverishly wracking his brain for a suitable menu for tomorrow. The Skipper has set the bar unfeasibly high, and I'm not sure that my carpaccio of tomato on its bed of bread a la plancha (tomato on toast) is up to the mark.

Wave count: 232,902 ...and 3 ...and 4
