Another day of light-to-moderate running 300 miles from Hawaii. Squalls in the early morning can be pretty hairy, reading about 28-30kts on the anenometer. By 10AM or so, back to 10-15 TWS.
The best joke in the house right now is to ask someone off watch for something preposterous from the galley. Like, “Hey Colin, while you are down there, I’ll take a Manhattan straight up, stirred, with a half dozen of the cherrystones on the shell, if it’s no trouble.” Food porn, a laugh riot.
Not so funny, we heard on the radio that some other boats may be getting into tight situations with drinking water.
