Last night was irritating with wind changing between 14 and 28 knots every few minutes. Plus waves dumping spray into the cockpit at the wrong moments. Plus I got hit by a fish.

Sunny now – high quality minestrone for lunch and meat curry tonight – hooray. Last two fresh tomatoes – John A will be at home with his tins tomorrow.

Still have gulls with us.

Port nav light is now torch in red plastic bag.
