Who needs a sextant!

Well then, the old salts would always mention the need for dead reckoning and sextant work. I say use a shower curtain! That way you can stay clean and know where you are. So that's today's thought, no GPS required!

Stop press: freezer update!!!! we are now at 9f i can barely contain the excitement. However i'm not sure we'll reach our target of 5f as the rate of descent is slowing. Tune in later in the week for even more thrilling freezer performance updates.

Final thought for the day: people scoffed when i said i wanted to live on a boat. With the rain we've just had and the floods, it seems like a prudent decision to me!
