A very heavy swell on today, I am feeling fairly well. There are a good few sea-sick. The wind is very strong & cold. It is very funny when the boat rolls, especially below deck, everything is rolling from one side to the other, fellows are trying to walk along, & only manage by short runs.
Tuesday Oct 30th
A sweep is got up every day on the distance the boat travels every day, the winner gets about 30/-. I haven't go in for any yet. Feeling very crook today.
