"Weather the same. Port watch braced the yards on the port tack this morning. It cleared up a bit this evening. I walked the poop this watch from 11 pm for three quarters of an hour while the second mate made tea. It required some skill to walk up and down the poop as the rolling and pitching is heavy but I came through safely."
