White overalls scale the mast



A week into our trip and Tim's overalls are now decidedly off white but, as a consequence, the blocks are running like silk. It's odd to be scratching around looking for outstanding boat jobs to do during our enforced wait in on the eastern side of the Denmark Strait.

Today I got around to modifying a GoPro to run off a 12 volt external battery as, to date, it's usefulness has been limited by a feeble battery life. Lots of satisfying drilling, filing and epixying. Has anyone else had this battery problem? Anyway it appears to have worked so I'm hoping we can now reliably capture some time lapse , action and marine wildlife shots. Watch this space!
