Day 11

621nm to go

It's still the same, not much different is happening.
My hand is really really sore again tonight, I did a bit of sewing, and cooking, which  I think was just a bit too much, and it sure is giving me hell at the moment.

Other than that it's just same old same old, we try and slow the boat down to make water as once again we are running low.
The poor Captain has to nurse the water maker the whole time as each roll we take, it stops working, so he has to get the air out of the hoses and restart it.
We have been doing this for several days now and it takes hours to even get a small amount of water made.
The problem is the intake and the outtake of water seems to be in the wrong place they need to be swapped around, but to do this we have to have the boat out of the water, so yeah that wont be happening anytime soon.

As for the fishing not much is happening in that department, I have rigged up a daisy chain rig and am trying it out on my hand line, basically it's a line of lures about 3 feet apart and the last one has a hook on it, so far nothing is interested in it, but you never know, I also moved my rod line in a bit closer as I think it may be just a bit to far out, so we will see how that goes.

Well tomorrow is another day.
