5th June 1940

There is very little to report today I am afraid, excepting that we have passed the 140° meridian w. and so have changed the times of the watches. I now go on at 11 pm., ship’s time and come off at 5am., But the hour will soon be forward again, so it will be 12-6am.

I certainly am enjoying this trip. I like seeing nothing but a great mass of blue water, and to see the bow of the “Waiwera”, cleaving through it, leaving a surging mass of white foam behind her.

We are getting along amazingly quickly, being only about ½ knot slower than when we came out. And you’ve got to remember that we came out “light”.
