Ship's Log:
As we make our way North, along the coast of New South Wales, the
wind and sea have eased, the temperature has risen, and with the
coming of the dawn, more sails are piled on. By lunch time we are
carrying 18 sails, and the īCraigī is a very fine sight indeed.
The crew love being up in the rigging, swaying gently through the
sky, looking down on layers upon layers of billowing canvas, peeping
through the rigging at the shore, and down to the deck, far below.
Scurrying around the deck is shipīs dog, Rusty, while the passage
crew enjoy the sun, read books or coil ropes, and the officers on the
quarter deck discuss the finer points of trimming the sails and
reducing weather helm. --- James Parbery
