Day Fifteen
No location recorded
"All went well until the forenoon then the calm was broken by a rain squall and we made a few miles but after a few more it became calm again. I managed to miss getting wet this time.
The mate apparently thought I was going to annex his paint locker. I was mixing some paint for the second mate and in comes the mate. He accused me of taking the oil in there but I denied it as I could find none. I walked out and met the second mate. Told him and things became bearable again.
It was a dead calm for the rest of the day. We braced the yards up a bit at about 10.45 pm."
