Chapter One - h) - Sunday 31th January, 1956

Logged 134 Miles

Ran the auxiliary petrol generator for battery charging, for two hours, as we cannot get radio time singnals on the W/T, as it is at present, and the chronometer error is too erratic to give us an accurate longitude.

Very pleasant sailing.

Juan made a Spanish broth of garlic, stale bread and eggs. Very tasty.

Set the Genoa jib

More whale spoor observed.

Skipper showed us how to have a "shower" lying in the net under the bowsprit. I tried it out. very agreeable. Skipper also demonstrated the methods of obeying pysiological necessities of the side instead of using the W.C. Very practical and hygienic.

Further efforts to locate the short circuit in the engine room unsuccessful.

Trolling for fish. No catch.
