Went down into engine room ! like a visit into hell! The temp down there must have been 190degrees Fahrenheit above the engines. But in the room about 110, the handrails too hot to hold. Main shaft leaking they tried to fix it in Madras by a diver going down but in typical Indian fashion they made it worse. Water pumping in all over the place, half the pumps and things don’t work. The automatic Gyro doesn’t work and many other things, will feel very lucky if we make Penang. Night time a few beers with Baz and Bev then down to cabin smoking hash. Alan tried it but Brian was really against it. Bev hummed the stripper while the Indian in the cabin was getting undressed it was hilarious.
First sight after 7 days at sea, Junk on the horizon
