Day Twenty Seven
Lat. 41° 34' S Long. 148° 38' W Dist. 156 miles
"At 1.30 am it was blowing hard and we furled the mainsail. It was a long job and took us an hour. After a respite of 10 minutes we squared in the yards and furled the fore topga'n'sail.
At 8 am we braced up the yards a bit and set the fore topga'n'sail. The port watch squared the yards this afternoon.
We had combs and paper to accompany the singing this evening. It was a delightful noise alright. We hoisted the staysails at 11 pm."
