POSITION: 33-31.9N, 160-27.4W, CSE:352 T, SPEED 7.2KNOTS
TOPIC ONE: THE MASTER HEAD AKA: SKIPPER'S TOILET. [WHAT A WAY TO START] WE ONCE
HAD 2 NOW WE HAVE ONE. I FOUND A CRACK IN THE VENTED LOOP WHICH STOPPED ANY
FURTHER ATTEMPT TO UNCLOG. I HAVE A SPARE THAT IS THE WRONG SIZE...IT'S FOR
SOMETHING ELSE. IF THIS WERE THE ONLY HEAD ON BOARD I WOULD MAKE IT WORK,
SEEING AS WE HAVE 2, I'M NOT BOTHERING. I'M FINDING THAT THE MAJOR CLEANOUT OF
THE BOAT PAULA AND I DID LAST YEAR HAS LEFT ME WITH MUCH LESS RAW MATERIALS FOR
ME TO WORK WITH. I KNEW I NEEDED ALL THAT CRAP FOR A REASON.
TOPIC TWO: WET AREAS. THE FORWARD BERTH [LANCE'S] IS SLIGHTLY MORE THAN DAMP.
THE LEAK IS [WAS I HOPE]COMING FROM THE OUTSIDE VENTS CALLED DORADES. I WENT UP
ON THE FOREDECK TODAY AND SEALED THE VENTS AND THE DRAIN HOLE WHERE THE WATER
JETS IN WHEN THE BOW GOES INTO THE WATER. THAT SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THAT. I ALSO
ADDED SOME TAPE TO THE MAST PARTNERS AND DID AN INSPECTION OF ALL THE DECK
LEVEL RIGGING. ALL LOOKS GOOD.
TOPIC 3: FOOD. I MADE BAKED CHICKEN THIGHS, CORN AND RICE, WITH A LETTUCE AND
APPLE SALAD LAST NIGHT. AWESOME. CREW HAPPY.
TOPIC 5: INJURIES: I STUBBED A TOE, STEVE STUBBED A TOE, LANCE SCALDED HIS HAND
WITH BOILING WATER THAT WILL BE A LITTLE SORE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. WE WILL ALL
LIVE BECAUSE WE ARE [IN A MELODIOUS SEA SHANTY] MEN MEN MEN MEN, MEN MEN MEN
MEN.
OK, I'M ON WATCH IN 5 MINUTES, GOTTA GET MY WATER AND MY BOOK AND HOPE SOMEONE
MAKES DINNER.
THE SKIPPER
