Tuesday 17 Sept/18
9 am - and we are about 30 miles out - weather very fresh but fine - about 8 cargo ships are attached to our Convoy and about 12 U.S. war boats. We have a 4.7 6" gun on our ship astern & 2 Howitzers for throwing depth charges just in front of our bridge on the second deck, they were all loaded & got ready this morning. Am feeling fit & well had enjoyable breakfast started on Grape Fruit (from West Indies) it is like a very large sweet lemon - the food on board is excellent so far both for the men & officers &c. Our hot salt water bathes commenced this morning I'm glad to say.
