Comments:

Today it is the midship crew going to the beach for a nice day off. Everyone else is working to make the Swedish Ship Götheborg ship-shape. The weather is absolutely perfect for this, nearly no wind and the water hardly moving. Along the sides of the hull many are hanging, smearing it, others are painting details that have taken a beating during our voyage.
 
The shipment yesterday of fresh fruit became popular to the extent that it had to be rationed almost instantly, otherwise even the grapefruits would have been devoured like small tangerines.
 
So the nice weather will continue and our plans are now to sail out Thursday, arrive to the roads off the harbour Friday and then make our entrance Saturday.
