Chapter Two - i) Thursday 9th February (1956) - Logged 97 Miles

Yesterdays blow seems to have blown itself out, although there are some squalls knocking around still.

The light breeze dropped to a dead calm with a heavy cross swell, ruinous to the vessel's gear. Ran the engine all afternoon and picked up a night breeze to carry us South.

Yesterday's duster cost us 140 miles northerly set. Too bad.

Oliver still sick.

Trolling for fish. No catch.
