The time zones of Africa and Australia differ by several hours. To have an even transition that is also fair to our watches, we will change by an hour at a time. The first change will be made this evening. At 10 p.m. we therefore set our watches one hour forward.
Our sickbay had quite a problem this morning. During the night the computer, with all its case-books, was thrown out of its stand and damaged. A careful repair however made it function again. At the same time the back-up routines were updated. Otherwise we have only had minor problems on the medical side.
So there was a lot of rolling and heeling last night. Work on bunkboards was therefore prioritized today. Also everyone is looking forward to the results of work to caulk openings where the rainwater finds its way, eventually to land in our hammocks and bunks. There is an abundance of various protection devices against these drops - creativity is not lacking on board the Swedish Ship Götheborg.
Today´s albatross was impressive. It licked the wave crests, taking a close turn from time around us. It was certainly portrayed by several cameras.
