Comments:
Temperature is continuing to rise, today at noon it was 28?C. Combined with the high atmospheric humidity, this makes sleeping in the bunks and cots increasingly difficult. We have had the first cases of light dehydration and everyone has been informed about the importance of drinking a lot of water. 
Yesterday afternoon we were passed on starboard side by a containership registered in Cyprus. Obviously the Swedish Ship Götheborg was something well worth looking at, since they chose to pass us rather nearby, allowing the crew to take a good look. They also called us on the radio, asking how old the ship is, and there were plenty of pictures taken from the bridge.
