We had put the clock forward half an hour in the night. Oh what a beautiful morning. Everywhere you turned someone looked quite green, even part of the ship�s crew had been seasick.

Stuart went up to breakfast and joined the seasick throng, and Harry became another member. Luckily I managed to steer clear, but only by a very narrow margin.

Before breakfast I ironed the washing and went into the dining room. There were quite a number of vacant places, but we took our places and had our usual breakfast of stewed fruit, cereal, egg and bacon, potatoes, toast and marmalade. From there we went on deck with a book and blanket to rest until lunchtime.
The sky looked very suspicious as though we might run into another storm. The weather just here is very unsettled.

At lunchtime I went into the dining room, but the sight of the food was enough for me. I left the table and went to bed for the afternoon. Everyone was in bed and glad to be. We were still tossing plenty, but hoped for a better day tomorrow.
