Day Thirty Four

Lat. 45° 10' S  Long. 129° 02' W  Dist. 91 miles    

"The port watch hauled the mainsail up during the middle watch and we set it at 5.30 am. I washed the half-deck out and then had breakfast consisting of a cup of so called coffee and some bread and butter and marmalade. Curry and rice was on the menu but I detest it.

We washed down at 12 md and then finished but not for long. It began to blow and at 1 pm we furled the upper topga'nsails and outer jib. At 2 pm we furled the mainsail and at 2.45 pm we furled the two lower topga'n'sails. During the first dog-watch the port watch hauled down the main topmast staysail.

Joe, Jock and I sang songs in the last dog-watch. At 9.30 pm the port watch furled both upper topsails."
