Graptolite - Mal de Mer



17:22.39S 162:42.76E Saturday 26th July north of New Caledonia

It's a bit rough here. The crew have been looking greener than they have since starting out across the Pacific and Heiki has had to be drugged up with scopolamine patches which is my most serious pharmaceutical in the medicine chest for the 'Seekrankheit'. It seems to work very well.

We hear Gerrie on 'Wizard' to our north has lost his mast and sails over the side yesterday which makes me even more pleased to have waited for my rigging spares to arrive before setting off. Our rigging is getting a good rattling even though we are mostly just motoring into wind.

As nobody is eating much, the annoying thing is that it looks like we are going to have to dump a lot of food before we get to Australian waters. The weevils in the ship's biscuits will not be happy.
