Comments:
A beautiful sunset and then an absolutely clear starlit night. The entire southern firmament was there to see in all its splendour. During the night a fair breeze helped us on, along the west coast of Australia. The sunny weather was there also in the morning, as was the breeze. Waves are very moderate but the unfamiliar movements of the Swedish Ship Götheborg have claimed the first seasickness victims. The fresh air on deck and crispbread however seems to cure them.
