Comments:
At the morning mustering at 0800 the port watch surprised us with the first of Swedish Easter traditions - they were all painted and dressed as Easter witches. Cameras were produced very quickly and one would suppose that several home pages by and by will show Easter witches not on their way to the Brocken but rather working on board an East Indiaman. One should however remember that there is a historical background to the witches and that sentiments were very much different on board an 18th century East Indiaman, a background of  witch-hunting, not least on the Swedish west coast.
 
Wind and weather are still on our side. Our 24 hour distances are all the time above what is required by the schedule. We are slowly moving more to the north and it might well be that we will be leaving “the roaring forties" already today, with the word “roaring" being far from what we have experienced during a week on these latitudes.

Angling is going on with two lines in our wake, each with a bite-stimulating and fish-simulating wobbler. To get them deep enough so as to prevent birds from catching them, lead has been added to keep them down. But no bites so far. The only fish caught was the little tuna taken home by our captain a few days ago.
