Day 20, June 11th, report from ET3, dictated via satphone.

 

Overnight no wind, we drifted 12 miles north and then 12 miles back south again from where we started. Bright sunny morning, still slopping around in the waves with no wind.  Changed all my clothes, in fact wore only hat and sandals whilst it was sunny, (quote) "that was very pleasant, indeed it was magnificent" (unquote) (... but perhaps too much information for our sensitive readers!)

 

Bailed out 18 inches of water discovered in water tank hold (in the forepeak).

 

Finished off changing the water powered generator for the windmill and mounted it on its 8 foot mast.  Tricky operation in the slop!

 

Got into my "big food box" for the first time, everything inside was fine, replenished stores.

 

Worked hard all day.

 

I made a resolution to myself.  When the stowaway is finally gone, now just a hacking cough, I promise myself a shave.

 

Currently heading southwest on a free reach, 5 knots of wind from the southeast.

 

ENDS.
