Wednesday night 23:44



40 49.9N, 131 13.6W

Visited by many dark swift birds, swallow-like but heavier, forever swooping. Another albatross.

3 pets: 2 spiders in the wind vein, and a grain moth. (Despite the threat to his dry food, he can't bring himself to kill it -- living things see so rare).

Calm enough, able to cook, eat, and clean up at one go.

Here is a picture I took of his gimbaled cooking apparatus. The rig swings to keep level despite the pitch of the boat. He has two small tea pots -- one is dented for heating salt water for cleaning and any other use, the other smooth for fresh water only. He has had the Svea (sp) stove since he was young -- he made coffee for us on it the first morning of our honeymoon.
