Comments:
It is still sunny and getting warmer. This night too a fantastic starlit sky, combined with sea-fire in our wake. A double, sparkling show!

The seasickness from yesterday seems to have vanished today. There are a few who are still somewhat pale, but they also seem to recuperate, by and by. The improved health situation on board also manifested itself: one of the watches did morning gymnastics on the deck.

We have seen two ships since we left Fremantle. So it seems that we have the sea very much to ourselves, at least when other human beings are concerned.
