Picton Castle at sea; Monday 13 December 2010 בס"ד
Got a wake up at 0500, but was tired still so slept in til 0645. We were sailing again, with all squares but the royals set Had breakfast, then set up for work. WT said today there was three things to do: put primer on the airport in the port breezeway we'd been working on, scrub the tropical blue overheads of the breezeways all the way around the superstructure, and scrape paint specks off deck. The weather today was uncertain, and had a good likelihood of picking up hard, so we didn't want any projects open that couldn't be instantly stopped if sail-handling was required right away. The first part of the workday, I spent cleaning and organizing the paint locker, and overhauling paint cans, jars, pots, etc. Then after lunch, I laid in with deck scraping. Finished work at 1600, read more Misquoting Jesus, chilled on the aloha deck and chatted with Tiina, had dinner, began reading Eric Newby's “The Last Grain Race,” and then did well deck forearm workout. The weather never got crazier than 5 gusting 6, although the swell coming from the south is big from the weather in the 40s, says the Captain. Finished Dabangg in the forepeak with Davey, Dave, and Dapper, then we ate maple syrup Canada cookies, and I went to bed.
