Now in the Red Sea passed a number of Rocky Islets this morning heard that they were called the 12 apostles there was a lighthouse on one of them. It must be a lonely job. Hot as Hell no, Hotter than any hell. We passed another Islet with a lighthouse the name of it sounds like [space] The heat (5.0 PM) tween decks is something awefull everybody practically naked & the perspiration running off them in streams slopping off their arms onto the table like water. The smell of man is something terrific not dirty but caused by abnormal sweating. I have been doing a little boxing lately & feel the benefit of it, shall keep it up untill we land if possible. We must be in the danger zone now because the lights are masked now
